lyrics

Matter of Days
I hate this drive, but I do not want it to end. I can barely focus, and we're freezing to the road. But tomorrow we return to the rain and to the world where headlines linger longer than the time we spend within. We'll toast our empty glasses with strained vocal chords and count ourselves lucky that we are even here at all. There's a feeling of relief that I get when I finally look to the west and the mountains rise from the Prairies like a tombstone to the world. In a matter of days I'll regret coming home and I wish I was leaving tonight, tonight, my friends. I thought I left this behind, but it was just waiting for me to return here and I've go no one but myself for me to blame. Too tired to sleep, I'm staring out a frozen window. Cold and shivering in the backseat of a car waiting for a chance to get some sleep. But the first smile I see upon your face is enough to make it all seem worthwhile and the lights of the city from my place remind me that it really ain't that bad. In a matter of days I'll regret coming home and I wish I was leaving tonight, tonight, my friends. I thought I left this behind but it was just waiting for me to return here and I've got no one but myself for me to blame. That feeling of relief of that I get will quickly turn to dread at the thought of spending my days waiting for my next opportunity to leave. Because in a matter of days I'll regret coming home and I wish I was leaving tonight, tonight, my friends. I'll see you all very soon, and I hope it will not be too long.
