7 More Days

7 more days 'til I go,
Getting rid of everything old,
But nothing new ever fits the same,
So many tears, so few to blame.


7 more days 'til I go,
Wishing I could see everyone I know,
Every face I'm leaving behind,
Their bodies stay, but the memories are mine, are mine.

I'm always telling myself the same stories,
Always waiting for the same glories,
But nothing's gonna come sleeping away my days,
Praying for life to change, praying for life to change.


7 more days 'til I go,
Running away from my only home,
Doesn't matter, it's only a name,
The place is cold, my heart is freezin'.


7 more days 'til I go,
Boxes packed, luggage is stowed,
Flying through clouds and dreams,
My eyes are closed but I can't sleep.

I'm always telling myself the same stories,
Always waiting for the same glories,
Falling asleep to the same old songs,
Crying over the same old wrongs.

I'm always telling myself the same stories,
Always waiting for the same glories,
But nothing's gonna come sleeping away my days,
Praying for life to change, praying for life to change,
Praying for life to change, praying for life to change.

Started writing this a week before moving to Toronto. Finished it just now. It's a song with a melody, but I can't translate the melody through words, but here we are.
