A New Arrangement

Bright Eyes

If could change your days
Arranging them in some sweet new sequence
Like any new arrangement is going to make a difference
Because it is the moment that you are living in

And not the one that follows
That makes the mess you are cleaning in your head
And time still drags you forward
Although you keep resisting

Because you know it is what you leave behind
You will soon start missing and the people you once counted on
Says it's all depending on how you act and how you treat yourself
And that is not very well
So baby, when I call for you

I want you to come and explain yourself to everyone
You nod in an acknowledgment of your frequent mood swings
But what good is an acknowledgment
It still don't change things

We've tried all forms of encouragement
And it's still no better
You can't seem to fake or force a smile
Not even a little one

So baby, when I call to you
I want you to come and lay it out for everyone
Exactly how it was before any of this happened
And why you can't leave it behind

Don't just sit there when I call to you
I told you to come and lay it out for
Don't feel awkward
Lay it out for everyone
