Not That Bad

(album: Lightning - 2012)

I sat all alone
Outside of your home
Waiting to get in
I fell off the path
I'm not walking back
Steps are genuine

Closed doors make it hard
To see what's ahead
So please bring a key
I sat all alone
Outside of your home
Waiting to get in

You called me hopeless
But I swear, it's not that bad
And you said it's worthless
But I swear, it's not that bad

Your watch looks the same
But times they have changed
All hands pointing up
Broken and repaved
These streets have been saved
They're painted with luck

Guard rails and road signs
Pot holes, yellow lines
Sirens they sound thin
I sat all alone
Outside of your home
Waiting to get in

You called me hopeless
But I swear, it's not that bad
And you said it's worthless
But I swear, it's not that bad

Sure enough
You sat there hoping
That this was all
One big joke and
My mom told me
This yesterday
Bet it all on
Double jeopardy

Sure enough
You sat there hoping
That this was all
One big joke and
Sure enough
I'll get in the game
You'll know my
You'll know my last name
