27 Days

The lights all show the city's sleeping
 But I know it's not too late to call
 They say the weak don't get to go home, but
 I might be ready for the fall
 You're taking off now for the weekend
 A new life follows right behind
 People know I never ask for much help, but
 I'm just a boy who's walking blind
 I know it's not fair to keep it together
 If there's no place to call home
 For 27 days
 I've never seen a sky so grey
 And there's nothing left to say
 I know that it's the only way
 The coin is in the air so call it
 What path in life you want to take
 It won't be long before I'm gone so baby
 It's just a choice you'll have to make
 I hope all of these sounds that bounce off the ground
 Will find their way to you
 For 27 days
 I've never seen a sky so grey
 And there's nothing left to say
 I know that it's the only way
 Too many days I've let slip by
 Too many nights I've wasted on
 Chasing a dream I never had
 And never will
