thirty

In three months I’ll turn thirty
And my sister will still be 25

Three months seems so long when
All you can think of
Is seeing those two little lines

Three months and you talk to his family
You’re married but they don’t recognize

That three months is too long
You can’t afford the trip but your trip into town is all
They talk about

Three months when they say that
Your dog’s at the end of his rope
But you’re hoping for more
Three months 90 days do you
Buy three packs of his favourite treat or four

Three months since you’ve last seen your friends and you’re craving
a long late night talking
and unless you reach out it’ll be 
three more

and its all in my mind

that these last ten pounds all it takes is three months
parts of myself lost I swear they’ll be found
one month sober down I feel ty

and its all in my mind

another three months now
my family they don’t know how
so they say
its all in their minds

A year and three months thinking
Two lines is not the question of 
When but how and how much

And its all in my mind


As I stand in the line
The doctor he says
My prescription is good for three months
