SIMILAR SADNESS
I find it hard to leave home
And ease into the day
Feel like a raging river
Told to flow a different way
But today I met a clever girl
Chronically amiss she cries
Behind her sense of irony
A similar sadness lies
I find it hard to venture past
The limits of my comfort zone
Feel like a scattered cloud
Afraid to test the winds alone
But today I met a clever girl
Chronically amiss she cries
Behind her sense of irony
A similar sadness lies
I find it hard to face the world
Without a thought to hide
Feel like an avalanche
Too wound up to slide
But today I met a clever girl
Chronically amiss she cries
Behind her sense of irony
A similar sadness lies
