Punches

Hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

Well fuck last year I'm glad it's done

And here's three weak cheers the next will be a better one

Measuring my life in unanswered messages

Stressing all the little stuff, the thing that's pathetic is

I haven't slept bed sober in a long, long time

'Cause I start having arguments as soon as I close my eyes

Vicious fights, bitter and confused

And the dumbest part is, sometimes I even lose

The will to start again

And every day feels like an end

But hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter

At least worth a damn

Damnit, goddamn, I went and fucked it up

Every single day like a clock that's stuck

It's another fine morning rolling down in the muck

I've been trying to look up and trying to find me some luck

Every sunrise the cycle starts again

I've been walking into glass doors since 7am

Trying to break the cycle, and to make some new friends

I guess it would be easier than making amends

And then I feel the buzz, the glow

Of that one sweet day a few months ago

But hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter

At least worth a damn

Hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter

At least worth a damn

And I don't want to be a beggar always asking for slack

Going take the things they threw at me and throw them right back

I'm tired of only ever trying to do what I can

The secret is to try and do the things that you can't

I can't promise that I'm going to be fine

But I'll throw my best punch every single time

Even though I'm skinny, don't know how to fight

I've got the makings of a champion every once in a while

Twenty four seven, three sixty five

I'm holding up my head the keep the dream alive

Of that one perfect day when the stars align

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine

Got the whole world in my sights, and-

(Hey, every once in a few months when)

(All the punches land)

(That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter)

(At least worth a damn)

Hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter

At least worth a damn

Damn the haters, damn the doubters

Today's my special day

You can't stop me, can't touch me

Can't take it away

Hey, every once in a few months when

All the punches land

That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter

At least worth a damn
