Nine Little Days

Nine little days till we talk again
so I think about the kind of friend
I've tried to be and that you've always longed for
This little world has a lot of curves and
you lean into them 'cause you've got the nerve
And you're the one I wanted to be strong for.
Nine little days to change my state of mind
Open these old eyes or continue to be blind
Just like a fool who plays at make-believe
The truth can set you free
unless you choose to stay behind
Yeah, it affects my mental health
when I see how much I kid myself
And realize the lengths that I have gone to
Nine little days till I hear your voice
and I'll likely go and lose my poise
And blurt out all the tender things I want to
Nine little days may have me on my knees
Time to take my meds or succumb to this disease
Rack my brains to find the words to say
This is not enough, so baby please
Don't judge, don't act like nothing's changed
just bring an open heart and open mind
Maybe my words won't seem so strange
maybe you'll realize this is our time
Nine little days till we talk again
I know that you remember when
You said I was the only one who knows you
Stood by you through thick and thin
and every time you went back to him
But this time I could use a little closure
Nine little days to change my destiny
See what might hiding behind door number three
Only a fool would hide their love away
I will gather courage up for nine more days
Nine little days till we talk again
I know that you remember when
You said I was the only one who knows you
Nine little days, um-hmm
