Minor Inconveniences

Cold feet, wet floor Sunlight through the front door My head hurts, my back aches Mom calls as my voice breaks And she asks me how I'm doing And I say I'm fine Burnt toast, milk's bad Stubbed my toe on the doorstep My cat's lost, my keys gone My neighbor mows at the break of dawn And they ask me how I'm doing And I say I'm fine They say the minor inconveniences are part of the experience of life And these minor inconveniences are part of the experience of mine Stranger from last night overstayed like a bug bite I found him in my kitchen doing all my dishes And he asks me how I'm doing And I say I'm fine They say the minor inconveniences are part of the experience of life And these minor inconveniences are part of the experience of mine And I know now that it's alright It just takes time to breathe again And I know now that it's alright It just takes time to breathe again They say the minor inconveniences are part of the experience of life And these minor inconveniences are part of the experience of mine
