A New Arrangement - Bright Eyes

If you could change your days

Arranging them in some sweet new sequence

Like any new arrangement is going to make a difference

Because it is the moment that you are living in

And not the one that follows that makes the mess you are cleaning in your head

And time still drags you forward

Although you keep resisting

Because you know it is what you leave behind

You will soon start missing and the people you once counted on

Says its all depending on how you act and how you treat yourself

And that is not very well

So baby when I call for you

I want you to come and explain yourself to everyone

You nod in an acknowledgment of your frequent mood swings

But what good is an acknowledgment

It still don’t change things

We’ve tried all forms of encouragement

And it’s still no better

You can’t seem to fake or force a smile

Not even a little one

So baby, when I call to you I want you to come

And lay it out for everyone

Exactly how it was before any of this happened

And why you can’t leave it behind

Don’t just sit there when I call to you

I told you to come and lay it out for

Don’t feel awkward

Lay it out for everyone
