lyrics

I dreamed I found an easy out
For the second time this week
You wished me luck and watched me go
After that we didn’t speak

What happened next I can’t recall
It’s probably best that way
There’s no place I’d rather be
Slowly wasting away

Lying awake most nights and wondering
What’s out there that's meant for me?
Or rest more comfortably
It’s a good life if you allow it to be

For all the unremarkable days
There’s love and light and predictability
And no one’s gonna hear complaints
About tired, casual stability

And I think all the time ‘bout
All the things that I’m ‘bout, no doubt
And the things that might have been
But there are better ways to spend my days than
Digging holes just to fill them in

Lying awake most nights and wondering
What’s out there that's meant for me?
Or rest more comfortably
It’s a good life if you allow it to be

Lying awake most nights and wondering
What’s out there that's meant for me?
Or rest more comfortably
It’s a good life
Spend so much precious time just wondering
What’s still to become of me?
Or sleep more soundly
It’s a good life if you allow it to be
