Not That Bad

I sat all alone

Outside of your home

Waiting to get in

I fell off the path

I’m not walking back

Steps are genuine

Closed doors make it hard

To see what’s ahead

So please bring a key

I sat all alone

Outside of your home

Waiting to get in

You called me hopeless

But I swear, it’s not that bad

And you said it’s worthless

But I swear, it’s not that bad

Your watch looks the same

But times they have changed

All hands pointing up

Broken and repaved

These streets have been saved

They’re painted with luck

Guard rails and road signs

Pot holes, yellow lines

Sirens they sound thin

I sat all alone

Outside of your home

Waiting to get in

You called me hopeless

But I swear, it’s not that bad

And you said it’s worthless

But I swear, it’s not that bad

Sure enough

You sat there hoping

That this was all

One big joke and

My mom told me

This yesterday

Bet it all on

Double jeopardy

Sure enough

You sat there hoping

That this was all

One big joke and

Sure enough

I’ll get in the game

You’ll know my

You’ll know my last name
