Another Day

I saw you in the stars again
You shone as bright as ever
And though I see you everyday
I know I’ll touch you never

I was missing you at work again
My head was filled with thoughts of us
But once again when I came home
You’d been replaced by dust

We chatted on the phone again
Until the battery turned red
It was nice to hear your voice once more
Even though it’s in my head

I stayed in bed again all day
Just staring at the ceiling
I got real high and cried a bit
A very familiar feeling

So every day is but another day that’s not for me
And every time I wake up I will pray that I can’t see
I ask you: What’s the point of seeing if everything’s just blue?
Because every day is just another day I can’t see you.
