lyrics

I don't know why I instinctively start all my songs with the words "I don't know why"
I don't know why I can only write a song about you or the weather lately
I've got something to love, I've got something to do, I've got something to look forward to
but now the weather sucks so so does my attitude

Stop telling me it's how it is, I know it isn't
I can do much better for myself in this life
I don't need to help myself by harming the others
I can be somewhere where I know I'm in the right

I slept through my first class four out of five days this week
Because I'm working late screwing over people that I'll never meet
And if you know me well you know that this happened
More than a month ago
But I am a month behind and I just know
That I'll never be a credit card salesman

Stop telling me it's how it is, I know it isn't
I can do much better for myself in this life
I don't need to help myself by harming the others
I can be somewhere where I know I'm in the right
