nothing's wrong

nothing's wrong
10.17.04

Rain falls on a cold October morning
You take the keys, you give a smile
You’ll be back in about eight hours
And life will speed on

Rain falls on these cold car windows
You are driving towards your future
Towards the inevitable
And so you dream on

There is hope in your eyes
There is a life behind their lies
There is love beyond the pain inside
Swallow it all and the world will be alright

Rain falls on a cold schoolhouse rooftop
Beneath the panels and lights, you are learning
There is revolution in your laughter
An unlived life in your future

But it ends.

There was hope in your eyes
There was a life behind their lies
There was love beyond the pain inside
Swallow it all, he’ll never be alright
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
And he was never alright

You did nothing wrong
I breathe in, and I scream out
You did nothing wrong
But the world won’t listen
And a cold October morning greets the rain
When a soul drifts away from the world
For choices humanity will never quite understand

Why do they take you away?
Lead you along cold paths
Towards a desolate doorway
Do you stand there, now?
Where are you now?
On this cold October day...
When I first learned of your name

Rain falls on a cold October morning
And nothing’s wrong... nothing’s wrong...
You did nothing wrong
But they didn’t quite understand.
