365 Days

It’s been 365 Days since the last time
We celebrated 365 days of trying
To keep our spirits elevated
Sometimes those days were so hard
Working in the school yard
And you working at home

In 365 days you’ve prayed for kindness
Sometimes felt that you got less
Baby I was too focused on
Fixing and cleaning the mess

I don’t long to be old you see
When that train pulls in I hope to be
Taking you with me
Won’t you stay?
When the only thing stable in life is change
As I’m stumbling through the next
365 Days

In these 365 days we fell hard on our luck
I’m so sorry baby,
I just couldn’t find the strength in me
To pick you up

Within 365 days I tried to be a better man all along
I was pinned to the floor
I hope you can forgive me
In this song

I don’t long to be old you see
When that train pulls in I hope to be
Taking you with me
Won’t you stay?
When the only thing stable in life is change
As I’m stumbling through the next
365 Days

As the accusations fills the room
With evidence to pull me from the rails
I wonder how I became such a fool
To believe that love would never fail
I will take all these years and the lessons I’ve learned
All the trials I have failed and the
Things I have burned
And nail them to the
Tree of the past

I don’t long to be old you see
When that train pulls in I hope to be
Taking you with me
Won’t you stay?
When the only thing stable in life is change
As I’m stumbling through the next
I stumbling through the next 365 Days
