Today was one of those days where nothing went exactly right but nothing went so wrong that the whole day was a wash. And yet I was cranky for most of it. I let all the little things get to me, leaving me feeling frustrated and powerless. And now, while my day is (thankfully) ending on a good note, I still thought I’d share this lovely song by Winterpills, “Cranky.” While the song title would lead you to believe this is an angry song, it’s actually sweetly, hauntingly beautiful, with lyrics that not only speak to me, but speak for me, as well.
All I know is that I’m true / To every single one of you / The best that I know how to do / I’m lost / I’m lost
Cranky is friend of mine / She puts away a glass of wine / Faster than the columbine / Falls off / In frost
So tell me cranky / What do I do / What do I do / There’s miles more heartache / Yet to go through / Yet to go through
How do you get rid of love / When its painted on you like a glove / And you’re really not deserving of / Its grace
Cranky’s got somewhere to go / Probably leaving with the coming snow / Somewhere south of Idaho / I’ll miss / Her face
So tell me cranky / What do I do / What do I do / There’s miles more heartache / Yet to go through / Yet to go through
Cranky is friend of mine / She puts away a glass of wine / Faster than the columbine / Falls off / In frost
