blizzard

I was born in a blizzard In the last week of the winter When the sun sets before dinner Where the sky goes on forever Kid to a dreamer And an adamant peacekeeper Couple of hell-bent believers Just hoping for the best Measuring the distance in the number Of seconds between lightning and the thunder A tattoo of a lady With a teardrop in her eye To commemorate the very saddest Summer of my life Sleeping through the afternoon Just trying to forget I thought i knew what i should do I didn't but i tried my best Measuring the distance in the number Of cigarettes it takes for me to walk there Sitting out on jenny's lawn Feeling like i belong A staircase to a mountain top A view that still gives me goosebumps Measuring the distance in the number Of songs that i can listen to in my car
