  • I spent the whole day in my head
    Do a little spring cleaning, I'm always too busy dreaming
    Well, maybe I should wake up instead
    A lot of things I regret, but I just say I forget
    Why can't it just be easy?
    Why does everybody need me to stay?
    Oh, I hate the feeling
    When you're high but you're underneath the ceiling
    Got the cards in my hand, I hate dealing
    Yeah
    Get everything I need, then I'm gone
    But it ain't stealing
    Can I get a break?
    I wish that I could just get out my goddamn way
    What is there to say?
    There ain't a better time than today

    Maybe I'll lay down for a little, yeah
    'Stead of always trying to figure everything out
    And all I do is say sorry
    Half the time, I don't even know what I'm saying it about

    Good news, good news, good news
    That's all they wanna hear
    No, they don't like it when I'm down
    But when I'm flying, oh, it make 'em so uncomfortable
    So different, what's the difference?

    When it ain't that bad
    It could always be worse
    I'm running out of gas, hardly anything left
    Hope I make it home from work
    Well, so tired of being so tired
    Why I gotta build something beautiful just to go set it on fire?
    I'm no liar, but sometimes the truth don't sound like the truth
    Maybe 'cause it ain't, I just love the way it sound when I say it
    Yeah, so what I do?
    If you know me, it ain't anything new
    Wake up to the moon, haven't seen the sun in a while
    But I heard that the sky's still blue, yeah
    Heard they don't talk about me too much no more
    And that's a problem with a closed door

    Good news, good news, good news
    That's all they wanna hear
    No, they don't like it when I'm down
    But when I'm flying, oh, it make 'em so uncomfortable
    So different, what's the difference?

    There's a whole lot more for me waiting on the other side
    I'm always wondering if it feel like summer
    I know maybe I'm too late, I could make it there some other time
    I'll finally discover
    That there's a whole lot more for me waiting
    That there's a whole lot more for me waiting
    I know maybe I'm too late, I could make it there some other time
    Then I'll finally discover
    That it ain't that bad
    Ain't so bad
    Well, it ain't that bad
    At least it don't gotta be no more
    No more, no more, no more, no more
    No more, no more, no more, no more
    Hey
    Mm, hey, mm Writer/s: Jon Brion, Malcolm McCormick
