Can I just stay in the confines
Of these four walls for a couple of days?
Can I just stay in this room
To get my head straight?
I look outside and I see them all fly by
The chaos of the world, the other side
But inside this room, it’s quiet and cool
And I am safe
But I know I can’t stay
I can’t afford to pay
I can’t afford the view or to eat in the café
But I’ll take a moment or two to sit
‘Til my time runs out
‘Til I gotta check out and face the world again
I’ll just take a moment or two to sit
Sit and write it all down
Drink that individually packaged coffee and
Not make a sound
Back to the world of trickery and deceit
But of love and beautiful things
That make the balance complete
Take a moment or two to sit
Sit and write it all down
Clear my conscience
Buckle down
Set my pace
Breathe deep
Here’s to another day
Overlooking the sky in the big city where the smog looms
But through it all, I see the sun
I see the clouds
I see a reflection of me
