It’s Not a Sad Thing

[Verse 1] Well I wonder what he's doing and if he's falling asleep I wonder if the flight attendant's prettier than me I know he's coming back, but I still didn't want him to leave [Chorus] But it's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing at all [Verse 2] My dear grandmother watches birds every day I can picture her at the window calling out their names She's got no one else to talk to and I guess that keeps her sane [Chorus] But it's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing at all [Verse 3] An overheard conversation from the table to my left Explaining his tattoos and the ones he hasn't gotten yet Some of them with meaning, but most of them with regret [Chorus] But it's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing at all [Outro] No it's not a sad thing It's not a sad thing It's never a sad thing at all
