Got out of bed today
I'm alive, what can I say?
I'm really happy to be
Somewhere with someone who makes me happy
I took the bus downtown
All day long I walked around
I looked at all the sights
And thought about how lucky I am now
I was sick of feeling down
So I gave it all away
Two thousand miles from all I know
And so much better off today
I'm still waiting for the world
To come crashing down again
And I'm still waiting for someone
To call me up and tell me you're dead
Sometimes I wonder what was going through your head
I don't know, but I won't go there again
You make me smile so wide
When I look into your eyes
When you're not around
You know you're somewhere stuck inside my mind
So here I am today
I was lost for twenty years
I found clarity
The day I took a chance
And moved away
I was sick of feeling down
So I gave it all away
Two thousand miles from all I know
And so much better off today
But I'm still waiting for the world
To come crashing down again
I'm still waiting for someone
To call me up and tell me you're dead
And sometimes I wonder what was going through your head
I don't know, but I won't go there again
No, I won't go there again
