Back to Normal

The other night I had a dream where everything was back to normal.
I woke up, and for the first time in my life, I was glad that it wasn't real.


There was once a girl
Whom I've told you of before
Change destroyed her world
And reality slammed the door
She had had so many friends
That she loved with all her heart
But most things have to end
So they all grew apart
Inseparable wasn't a word
'Cause that's what they thought they'd been
They flew off like the birds
And left that girl to pretend
Inside there was a hole
In the shape of what she'd lost
It shot right through her soul
A line that reality crossed
And so alone she stayed
Wishing for them back
She and her father prayed
That friends she wouldn't lack
But it didn't take long
For her to figure out
That she did not belong
In any other crowd
Hope had flown away
Within a couple years
But still the very best days
Were the ones that hadn't yet appeared

A pool party at someone's house
Turned everything around.
