lyrics

It's a Good Year

It's a good day to be alive but the worst way to live.
My friends are old, and their seeds are sown.
I'm looking on as life goes on.
It's a good year to be in love, and a better time to trust
Nobody is going to pick you up, when their arms are around your woman.

Cheer up, the air is clearer now,
You've got your head in the clouds and they're rising now.
I won't wait, I've waited too long.
I've got to get on out.

It's a fine way to settle down, when you haven't left the ground.
Don't take a risk, just save and sit.
Don't talk to me about your ten year itch.
There's no better time than now,
but I know you'll put it off for some time off.
But you know I can't wait to rub it in, to point the fingers back at you.
You should be careful where you lay your head.
There's all kind of webs, and you're just a regular kid.

Cheer up, the air is clearer now,
You've got your head in the clouds and they're rising now.
I won't wait, I've waited too long.
I've got to get on out.

If I sing and I make no sound.
If I'm alive and I'm underground.
If I've got eyes and I keep them shut,
Love and tell no one.
If I can swim and I choose to drown.
Have an idea and don't write it down.
If I forget what I need to say.
Shy away when you ask me to stay.
If I want to get out of this town
then what's taking me oh so long.
If my words ever meant a thing,
what makes me so different than you?

Cheer up, the air is clearer now,
You've got your head in the clouds and they're rising now.
I won't wait, I've waited too long.
I've got to get on out of this town.
