It Seems That I’m Not Getting Things Quite Right

Why do I need a hat when the clouds all above,
are hanging from the sky when I walk out my door?
It seems that I’m not getting things quite right.

Why do I need an umbrella when the sun is up,
And all the kids in the neighborhood are running around?
It seems that I’m not getting things quite right.

Since you left me I’ve trying to live day by day.
But every time I look into the mirror…
who’s that man living backwards all of his life?!

Why do I need to hide my poems in a drawer,
And get them lost through the years, when they were written for you?
It seems that I’m not getting things quite right.

Why do I need my winter coat when I take a ride,
And summer is even warming up colder hearts?
It seems that I’m not getting things quite right.
