Nickel

Almost slept a full eight hours last night
I only dreamt of you a couple of times
We were at a party holding hands
Drinking a glass of wine

Took the pictures down off of the wall
It didn’t hurt too much at all
‘cept for the ones from Mexico
Under the bright sunshine

Like pocket change, my moods range
From one day I’m a quarter, the next I am a dime
Today I feel like a nickel, but I’ll be fine
I may look like a nickel, but I’ll be fine

Couple of friends rang me up this week
Wondering why we never speak
I just ignored the telephone
Lived like an island

Like pocket change, my moods range
From one day I’m a quarter, the next I am a dime
Today I feel like a nickel, but I’ll be fine
I may look like a nickel, but I’ll be fine

And I don’t understand a thing these days
I just try to walk a line
Hoping one day I will be feeling fine
I thought of calling you today
Don’t think we have too much to say
Just a silence through the wires
And an ache and desire

Like pocket change, my moods range
From one day I’m a quarter, the next I am a dime
Today I feel like a nickel, but I’ll be fine
I may look like a nickel, but I’ll be fine
