Umphrey's McGee – 13 Days lyrics

The moment you leave
You'll be asking for more
But I know what it is for
Still for a time I could act surprised

As soon as it seems
You will be where you were last
But with no one to laugh at
So I wouldn't try for a second time

When you're alone
There will be no one to say
Whether or not it's okay
Comfort can come in so many forms

Waiting to be shown
Every now and again
That you're willing to bet
And where should you care if your soul is torn?

It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday

It's more like a friend
Who you know from a dream
That you never would meet
So all of your thoughts would be wasted on her

The climb and descend
Where you wanted to rest
If you're willing to guess
But that's not a promise I should offer

The risk that you take
Everyday you're alive
Is enough to retire
But that's not a reason to be modest

Ways of mistake
If you humor your pride
And you're willing to lie
At least to yourself you were being honest

It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
