lyrics

I don't know why I thought that I would like to work in a department store
I quit that job and then I found a new one
And I'm grateful that it all worked out

And maybe I was just not wise but it only took me a couple of tries
I don't know though just don't take my advice
and everything sucks but let's all agree
to hold on to our dignity
you learn a lot more from losing
so let's all hold our heads up high in defeat.

And I don't know what I don't know
But I think I'll soldier on
I don't know when (or if) it all went wrong
And everybody's trying so with them just try along
And buckle up cause life is cool
But man, it's just so long

And maybe I was just not wise
But it only took me a handful of tries
I don't know though, just don't take my advice
And everything sucks but let's all agree
To hold on to our dignity
You learn a lot more from losing
So let's all hold our heads up high in defeat.

And I don't know what I don't know
But I think I'll soldier on
I don't know when (or if) it all went wrong
And everybody's trying so with them just try along
And buckle up cause life is good
But man, it's just so long

They let me be a comedian until the tur train broke down
And they closed the park for renovations.
I never thought I'd miss my High School days but here we are
And nobody wants to be in a band as soon as they start to understand

And maybe I was just not wise
But it only took me a couple of tries
I don't know though, just don't take my advice
And Facebook sucks but let's all agree
To just try not to be so mean
If you think it's black and white then boy there's a whole lot you haven't seen

And I don't know what I don't know
But I think I'll soldier on
I don't know when (or if) it all went wrong
And everybody's trying so with them just try along
And buckle up cause life is good
But man, it's just so long
The glass looks half-empty
But the measurements are wrong
And it took me 16 months to finish off this song.
