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
