Story Behind the Song
I had just finished up the pain in the ass process it takes to finish a dissertation, and was sitting on my bed trying to get my calluses back and thinking about things and it just kinda came out.
Lyrics
You look out that window and you see the rain that’s falling today, you shout go away
I look out the very same window, I see a chance for another peaceful day, don’t let it slip away
(bridge)
All my time gets tied up running up, they run ya down, and you're running away, trying to find that peaceful day: (repeat with slightly different words)
(2nd vs)
You want what I can’t give you, reassurance for the coming days, but tomorrow’s just so far away
You know what I can give you, I give you all my time today, let's spend it our own way
(Bridge)
You know that you’re missing the picture, if you waste you life worrying and turning gray, trying to buy a peaceful day:(repeat slightly changed)
(3rd Vs)
Got these things that I remember, you know that I tuck them all away, till the next peaceful day.
You look back out that window, and you say that’s a pretty cool shade of grey, for an autumn day
(bridge)
You know I just might be a sinner but I’ll spend my lifetime doing it my own way, living out my peaceful day
You know I just might be a sinner but when I can you’ll find me smiling and wading away, living out my peaceful day
