2,6,4 Day

Sometimes a day feels OK

Sometimes my directions lead me the wrong way

I’ve got feelings inside

Feelings I just can’t hide

I’ve got a dream to pursue now

But I just don’t know how

I know what I want

And I reach out to grab it

It’s not that easy

But I’m going to have it

I won’t give up on my dream

Just ‘cos it’s my own scheme

Vacant faces, empty spaces

That’s the difference between you and me

You with your own life

Me with mine

That’s why we’ll never be

It’s not that I don’t like you

‘Cos I don’t

It’s not that I can’t

It’s because I won’t

And it’s been a 2,6,4 day

Everything goes its own special way

But I’m stuck on a platform

Watching the trains go thundering past

I scream but all sound is lost

And a train stops at last
