Description: I wrote "5 Days in May" two years ago (in May) when I had a horrible flu and felt really frustrated and restless, and just wanted to go outside and run in the summer rain...It's about learning to find serenity in every situation and to enjoy your own company. May has always been my favorite month; it's the month of my birthday, my name and nature's rebirth!

lyrics

Lyrics:

I've been untangling my mind
Sitting in loneliness
Been taking care of myself
Letting restlessness
turn into mindfulness

Learning to be in the moment
Accepting what's coming
Resting and counting my blessings
And trusting the process, yeah

These days I want to escape
to another place and time
Run in the summer rain,
let it wash off the pain of mine

5 days in May
Soon gone away

Oh, these days I want to escape
to another place and time
Run in the summer rain,
let it wash off the pain of mine
Woah
Oh, these days I want to escape
to another place and time
Run in the summer rain,
let it wash off the pain of mine

5 days in May
I'm gonna wait

5 days in May
Not here to stay

5 days in May
