Counting Crows - Possibility Days Lyrics






It was a cold 3 A.M. at JFK
I guess you stayed because you wanted to stay
And we went from zero to everything all in a day
And then Kennedy took you away

I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm
And the moments that make up your life until you wake up
You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl
And she tells you she wanted to kiss you

And you know the worst part of a good day
Is hearing yourself say
Goodbye to one more possibility day
It goes on and on

I go west but your weather has changed
You're just scared I mistake it for strange
When you want me to leave then
You start to believe I should stay
But I gotta get out of L.A.

It seems like the short days are over
Cause you just don’t sleep in the daylight
So I don’t sit up nights
I lie on my back on the top of a hill and your body
Is breaking the sky because you're shaking

And the worst part of a good day
Is knowing it's slipping away
That's one more possibility day
That is gone

We were waiting for winter this year
But you came and it never appeared
Me and you we know too many reasons
For people and seasons
That pass like they weren’t even here

Now "living in smiles is better", you say
But we carry the burdens of all of our days
So I'm scared that you’ll leave
And you’re scared that I'll stay
It's an impossibility day
And we only saw half of the ballet

I said good night, goodbye
Seems like a good thing
So you know it's a good lie
You can run out of choices
And still hear a voice in your head
When you’re lying in bed

And it says that the best part of a bad day
Is knowing it's ok
The color of everything changes
The sky rearranges its shade
And your smile doesn’t fade
Into a phone call
And one bad decision we made

And the worst part of a good day
Is the one thing you don’t say
And you don’t know how but you
Wish there was some way

So you pull down the shades
And you shut out the light
Because somehow we mixed up
"Goodbye" and "good night"

And the one thing you won’t say
Is "everyone knows possibility days are impossible"
It just feels wrong
So wrong
Still you’re gone
Long gone

Counting Crows Possibility Days Comments
  1. T.... N....

    This song is great. What album does this song come from?

  2. R.... S....

    Impossible Adam Duritz.
    I need a good bottle of wine, a joint and some good advice.
    Those dreads?

  3. L.... N....

    Is that Leonardo at the end with a Zoro hat on? Thats Impossible!

  4. E.... C....

    The pure sadness and regret in his voice when he says “and we only saw half the ballet.” Is remarkable.

  5. L.... B....

    so good number
    i get dis number vrom hawai 5 o

  6. S.... M....

    gets me every time...

  7. S.... N....

    This song is really what I've needed the past few days....prom is coming up, and although I'm not ugly, or socially awkward, I've always had a problem asking girls out, so I just did what came logically- I simply never asked anybody out. (Well, technically yesterday) I asked a girl out, which was the first time I ever asked anybody out. I don't know if well go yet, its kinda complicated, but hell, this song was 80% of the reason why I didn't procrastinate asking her out.

  8. 8.... ....

    This is my favorite song by Counting Crows. I can relate to every word after many failed relationships...its so great and relatable it cripples my soul. My favorite lines are "Me and you, we know too many reasons for people and seasons that pass like they weren't even here" and "The worst part of a good day is the one thing you don't say, and you don't know how but you wish there was some way" :'(

  9. D.... B....

    Who is here in 2019?

  10. B.... ....

    I hate it when I only see half of a ballad

  11. B.... H....

    “And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don’t say”

  12. p.... a....

    CC pega duro y bonito <3

  13. N.... X....

    Thank you Hawaii-five-0 for showing me so beautiful song...

  14. m.... s....

    CC are legends. Man they are creators.

  15. a.... w....

    beautiful. ??

  16. P.... L....

    This just might be the best song ever written.

  17. R.... K....

    This has turned into my fav song, I love it so much☺️😇

  18. F.... F....

    Hawaii 5-0

  19. A.... H....

    you know if ed sheeran put this song out it'd be number 1 for like 3 weeks. counting crows are so damn good

  20. F.... D....

    Counting Crows are THE TRUTH. DURITZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

  21. G.... B....

    So much wisdom in 1 song...omg....recently divorced not by my choice...we are Christian faith but I go to church cuz I am the worst sinner alive and HE is my only hope for peace. She was born and raised in a great family. I cannot possibly understand what went wrong but this song I think shed some light. As I question her about motives: " now living in smiles is better you say? But we carry the burdens of all of our days ? ( our thinking did not match all of the sudden). I am scared that you will leave and you are scared that I will stay.......but we only saw half the ballet ?"....... nothing about this divorce m makes any sense...she never even tried........then roll into the best part about the sky rearranging.....Not only applies to my situation but to her not even trying..... eve4ything we know and hold true to will at some point be flipped upside down . And what we once thought important is now delegated as irrelevant. Just part of life and pisses me off that she co7lod not see her current frustrations with me( some are valid) were all temporary.......paradoxes and bad situations are always temporary

  22. O.... W....

    Well I must admit I never really gave Crows a chance back in the day but I'm starting to regret my decision. Lovely song.

  23. b.... ....

    Great song. But it looks like CC spent 8's of dollars on this video.

  24. C.... B....

    just got this song stuck in my head from nowhere & had to listen to it.
    this may have just saved my life.
    if there was ever a god..

  25. J.... R....

    There is a *BIG* different between saying goodnight and goodbye. Whenever I'm so depressed I want to say goodbye, I instead decide to say goodnight. This song helps me so much.💙

  26. K.... L....

    Worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say goodbye...

  27. M.... R....

    I'm trying to write a novel, and when ever i get stuck i play this song and my mind opens up like a flower.

  28. a.... c....

    Counting crows are coming back to the band I worship them for. Me and my dad are so excited <3

  29. p.... e....

    I've been following CC since Mr. Jones music video on VH1 in 1993. ran out bought the cassette of AAEA. This is my new favorite song by them. But Perfect Blue Buildings will always be my Never Ending favorite.

    S.... C....

    Schardt Cinematic Productions I love Perfect Blue Buildings too, that whole album is amazing!

  36. D.... ....

    In ones lifetime there all possibility days but you never know

  37. A.... P....

    Counting Crows brought me here. They've been bringing me everywhere since 1993. True fan.

    A.... P....

    My mom had me listening to this when I was in kindergarten and elementary and earlier I was watching a tv show and this played

    A.... P....

    @Noah Steadman Mate, this came out 2 years ago. Are you 7 years old?

    A.... P....

    I stumbled on them in the early 2000's after hearing Mr Jones in a club.

    Proceeded to invest in all their albums.

    Avowed fan, and proud.

    A.... P....

    I've been listening since early 90s too my favorite band of all time

    A.... P....

    Same... Their lyric history is a story of our lives im sure.... its definitely mine.

  38. W.... F....

    I love this song so much. It's so good. It also reminds me that however a day goes is how I make it go. I could sit around or go do something purposeful. It also reminds me that while good days don't last forever, neither do bad days. Everything will work out and be okay.

  39. l.... b....

    I have played this song on repeat so many times this semester. Seriously, so many times.

  40. R.... J....

    That's pretty much the story of my life right now.. all I wished is to have her back in my arms 😳

  41. M.... F....

    Amazing song and voice!

  42. x.... ....

    "The worst part of a good day the one thing you wont say, and you don't how but you wish there was some way"
