I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, surrounded by sleeping folks |
|
I didn't know. |
|
On failing to find my friends, |
|
I decided it was clearly time to go. |
|
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as |
|
I could - there was no one there |
|
I knew to say goodbye, |
|
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine of the |
|
Sunday morning light. |
|
I started the night with all my friends and |
|
I ended up alone. |
|
I started out so happy now |
|
I'm hungover and down. |
|
It was about then that |
|
I realized |
|
I was half-way through the best years of my life. |
|
I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where |
|
I was, and maybe even find a bus back home, |
|
Longing for a shower, and for clean sheets, and a charger for my phone. |
|
Suddenly it hit me - |
|
I got paid this |
|
Friday last, and so |
|
I rifled through my pockets for some change. |
|
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes and a sinking sense of shame. |
|
I had to ask myself: |
|
Is is really worth it? |
|
Is any of this worth it? |
|
Well the whole thing's far from perfect, |
|
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time. |
|
Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains - the real damage started to sink in. |
|
It'd been quite a heavy weekend and |
|
I could just about remember where |
|
I'd been. |
|
Well I started the night with all my friends and |
|
I ended up alone, |
|
I started out so happy now |
|
I'm hungover and down. |
|
I stood on a street corner and |
|
I felt a little sick. |
|
It was about then that |
|
I realized |
|
I was halfway through the first day of the week. |
