Annoying Bit of Irony
I'm not in a good mood today. I swear I'm not. In fact, I kinda just wish that the sky would darken and a thunderstorm would move in and - after having dinner with the fam - I could just curl up on the couch and read until I fall asleep. In fact - on top of that I wish that I didn't have to work tomorrow so I could sleep all of Wednesday.
Making my rotten mood even worse - I just sat here and wrote something completely upbeat. That's kind of annoying. Especially when you haven't really tried your hand at writing anything lately and then what pops out of your mind? Happiness. What a bunch of hooey.
Here. Enjoy.
'The View From Here'
- J. Sieff
I get up in the mornin’…the coffee’s already on
I open up my closet, figure out what to put on…
Over there on the bed, you’ve got an hour left to sleep
And you’ve never looked so peaceful, even after fighting with the sheets
When I step out on the porch, I’m surrounded by the sun
Another day of things to do until…another day is done
But if you could stand where I am standin’
And see the view from here
You’d see everything I thought was lost
Is now so crystal clear
You’re the man that I’ve always dreamed of
And I’m really not sure why…but
The view from here gets better…
When I’m looking in your eyes…
I make sure to call my mother, when I’m on my way home
Just so I can say I love her, and not feel so alone
I remind her that I’m everything I am because of her
Thank her for her strength and say I miss her too much for words
But if she could stand where I am standing
And see the view from here
She’d see all my uncertainties
Are now so crystal clear
I never thought I’d make it on my own
And now I don’t know why
Yeah the view from here gets better…
With my mom by my side…
My little brother’s all grown now
And off he’s gone to school
And my best friend has a baby girl
That will be here soon
And there’s nothing like a night with my girls
Some cold beer and junk food…
To get rid of any blues…
Yeah, if you could stand where I’m standing
And see the view from here
You’d see so much love, life and laughter
Bright and crystal clear
Yeah the best view in all the world…
Is the view from here…
I wish you could stand where I'm standing...
Wish you could see the view from here...
