A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.
For example, in the Gregorian calendar (a common solar calendar), February in a leap year has 29 days instead of the usual 28, so the year lasts 366 days instead of the usual 365. Similarly, in the Hebrew calendar (a lunisolar calendar), Adar Aleph, a 13th lunar month is added seven times every 19 years to the twelve lunar months in its common years to keep its calendar year from drifting through the seasons too rapidly.
Trying to get home from a place so far away
That fairy tales, they ain't got nothing on this place
Didn't get a little help from my friends or the Architect
I ended up in space with some Australian blend
They keep on dropping hints but I don't pick them up
A couple pennies on the floor, I say "you call that
luck?"
Don't think I'm gonna make it, just know that I tried
Tried so hard to please everyone my face got tired
Got so weak that I can't even reach my own front door
When my heart still beating there out on my porch
Hear it sing
Sorry that I missed you on Monday
My body fell apart, then it laid right in my way
Got no big story to tell, I'm not there and back from
Hell
But I blew it this time, and I missed you on Monday
They're tryin' me like a jury, I can't drop my defense
All you got is a story, don't even care if it makes sense
Now I'm handcuffed to this bench, but I'm the one robbed
of all my strength
No I'm not giving up, but it sure feels that way
Is it funny this shit happens almost every time?
Of just sad as hell that I still play along?
I pack my bag, put it on my shoulders
Take my scarf, and kiss my mother
It's still dark outside
It's so early, I rub my eyes
I say Hi to the baker, I say Hi
I meet my friends at the corner of the street
And we talk and we laugh like every morning
On Monday, on Tuesday, On Wednesday too
I'll always remember you
I sit down in the classroom
And look through the window
Open my bag, but I'm too slow
The teacher is yelling at me again for nothing
I don't care. The bell's ringing
I say Hi to the baker, I say Hi
I meet my friends at the corner of the street
And we talk and we laugh like every evening
On Monday, on Tuesday, On Wednesday too
I'll always remember you
I say bye to the baker, I say bye
I've lost my friends at the corner of the street
And I cry, and I cry like every morning
On Monday, on Tuesday, On Wednesday too
