Day After Day

The temperature was falling fast It’s windy.
The rain was splatting against the window
She woke up within seconds
She took a deep breath and counted to 10
I wish i could find a way out
A little black dog….
Scratching on my window
That's what it sounds like

She woke up again within seconds
She took a deep breath and counted to 12
I wish i could find a way out
i'm living with it day by day
A little black dog….
Scratching on my window
That's what it sounds like
Get me out of here
The life i live day by day
