The Way It Seems

I made it out
You're in it up to your neck
I'm out of words to say
You listen anyway
I made a mess
Of all the quiet places
Hide my head away
Until another day

I told myself
I'm not where I want to be
That you're somewhere else
I couldn't hope to be
If there's nothing wrong
That's only the way it seems
When your life goes on
Let it go easily

I get a breath
But you can't spare a minute
All this idle time
Is better yours than mine
I fell asleep
On your side of the mattress
It's such a hill to climb
To always feel alive
