I’m Not Getting Up Today (3/24/03)

Train whistles blowing in my groggy head

I pull the covers around me and drift back to bed

People are getting up

getting on with their lives

And I’m still wondering

What I’m doing with mine

I’ve separated myself

from everyone that I need

And now I can’t stand

All the choices I’ve made

They say the time will come

It will all come to pass

That this world will come to own me

I think it already has

So I’m not getting up

I’m just not getting up

I don’t need another friend

to tell me I’m ok

To take it easy, take my time

to take it day by day

I don’t need another jod

To hide away my feelings, to hold out one more month

To see what there is to see

I don’t need another hug

I don’t need another compliment

Another promise of finding love

So I’m not getting up

I’m just not getting up

Everyone knows what’s best for me

Cause it seemed to work for them

They don’t remember what they used to dream

Don’t think about what might have been

I can no longer accept this facade

I can’t take it all to heart

This is my stop, this is where i get off

Where the world and I

Move apart
