Alright there's something truly magnificent about being sad And that is that everyone can be sad Some people are sad sometimes Other people are sad all the time And this is just a song about being sad Whoopdie-doo, let's get to it, haha I've got a problem, I'm always so sad The littlest things get me pissed off or mad My life's pretty good, no, I don't have it bad So it's hard to explain all these feelings I have I'm just a baby, I think that explains it I burnt up my toast got so sad that I fainted I played a great song on repeat, now I hate it And nobody likes this picture I painted My only messages come from my mommy I spend my life feeling like nobody wants me You're kinda cute, but your friend is a hottie His shiny white teeth and his muscular body I wear a cool outfit and try to look edgy My underwear rides up and gives me a wedgie My pants are too tight, now I wish they were stretchy Why do these small things always upset me? Little things make me wanna cry sometimes But that's just life It'll be alright If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing this song If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing along What's a party? I've never been Well, I went to one once, but I couldn't get in I bought a lottery ticket, but I didn't win So I bought two more and I lost again My phone's plugged in but it isn't charging I wake up in the morning looking like a Martian I'm crying on the daily, you could call me Carson Could you please the door if you're gonna barge in? My shoes are too small and can't fit my foot in Went back to the mall and I stepped in some pudding I tried to return them, they said that I couldn't Here are some things that upset me that shouldn't My coffee's too bitter, got stains on my shirt I popped my balloon, and my dog is a jerk I stepped in some gum then stepped in some poop I feel like a hamster, I'm stuck in a loop Little things make me wanna cry sometimes But that's just life It'll be alright If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing this song If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing along If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing this song If you're really sad Everything just turns out wrong If you're really sad Let me hear you sing along

I've been feeling so down on myself I've been losing my mind and my health Think that it's time that I try and see life a new way I needed advice so I called up my dad He answered the phone with a joke and a laugh He said to me, "Son, it's your attitude you need a change" I'm a ray of sunshine I fuckin' love life, yeah, that's me Never home being lonely, got plenty of homies calling me up Well, I was crying on the bedroom floor They told me, "Don't be sad anymore" And I said, "Holy shit, that's it, I'm cured" No good moods ever last too long Snap my fingers and it's all gone You can almost see in the wind it's drifting away Sunday night all alone with my thoughts Thinking of someone I've loved and I've lost It's hard but it's right and I knew it was time for a change I'm a ray of sunshine I fuckin' love life, yeah, that's me Never home being lonely, got plenty of homies calling me up Well, I was crying on the bedroom floor They told me, "Don't be sad anymore" And I said, "Holy shit, that's it, I'm cured" Tryin' to fight all the feelings I'm havin' Why not just cave in and let all the feelings I'm feelin' just happen? It's so hard to function when you let a bad thing get you down Don't let a bad thing I let myself cry for a little, then I let the happiness come back around Can I be happy 'bout one thing but sad overall? Choosin' the way that I feel isn't always my call Yeah, this isn't a switch you can turn off and on at your will This is a lever that you've gotta crank Until you feel the way that you wanna feel (wanna feel) Like a ray of sunshine Someone who fuckin' loves life They say I should just decide To look on the bright side I'm a ray of sunshine I fuckin' love life, yeah, that's me ('cause I never) Never home being lonely, got plenty of homies calling me up Well, I was crying on the bedroom floor They told me, "Don't be sad anymore" And I said, "Holy shit, that's it, I'm cured"

Why do the birds sing so early in the dawn? Their honeysuckle melodies, before my day's alarm I imagine they're rehearsing for some big, elaborate show That I've not been invited to, so I should never know The songs they like to sing, I suppose they're not too far From all the songs I sing, when I'm alone late in my car (when I'm alone late in my car) And if I were the postman awake for the afternoon I'd be the lucky someone eavesdropping on their tunes But I think I like it better when I sleep late past their call For all I know, perhaps the birds don't even sing at all We are nothing Love comes easily to you But not the hurt You're impervious to blue I wish I knew How to sing about the other colors too

Jumped and took a fall Expected I would fly I didn't know that wings Were made of wax and wires But I forgive the sun For burning like it's June 'Cause bones can always mend But there's only one of you You're gravity to me You keep me in my place And without your pull I'd just be lost in space I'm tethered to your heart Oh, any distance wide When whispering your words I hear them amplified And I'm out here on a limb In this vacuum of two So believe when I say That my eyes see only you You're gravity to me You keep me in my place And without your pull I'd just be lost in space

I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars That shell shock love away There's comfort in melancholy When there's no need to explain It's just as natural as the weather In this moody sky today In our possessive coupling So much could not be expressed So now i'm returning to myself These things that you and i suppressed I see something of myself in everyone Just at this moment of the world As snow gathers like bolts of lace Waltzing on a ballroom girl You know it never has been easy Whether you do or you do not resign Whether you travel the breadth of extremities Or stick to some straighter line Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock They're either going to thaw out or freeze Listen... Strains of benny goodman Coming thru' the snow and the pinewood trees I'm porous with travel fever But you know i'm so glad to be on my own Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Can set up trembling in my bones I know - no one's going to show me everything We all come and go unknown Each so deep and superficial Between the forceps and the stone Well i looked at the granite markers Those tribute to finality - to eternity And then i looked at myself here Chicken scratching for my immortality In the church they light the candles And the wax rolls down like tears There's the hope and the hopelessness I've witnessed thirty years We're only particles of change i know, i know Orbiting around the sun But how can i have that point of view When i'm always bound and tied to someone White flags of winter chimneys Waving truce against the moon In the mirrors of a modern bank >from the window of a hotel room I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars Until love sucks me back that way
