[Verse 1]
What a nice day to make a list of all the things I need to do
My life’s in disarray and I’m beginning to think I might be screwed
What a nice day
I’m all dressed up as if I’ve got somewhere to be
This tie is kind of short and these shoes don’t fit, but there’s no one here to see

[Chorus]
I wish time would linger a little longer
I keep paying for all my problems
It’s not working out so well
I could have made the call to walk away, but I chose to run through hell

[Verse 2]
What a nice day
My girlfriend left me for some other dude
My mother is ashamed and she’s afraid that I might never move

[Chorus]
I wish time would linger a little longer
I keep paying for all my problems
It’s not working out so well
I could have made the call to walk away, but I chose to run through hell

[Verse 3]
We’re chasing cigarettes with coffee in the daylight, whisky with coke on the weekend
Everybody knows that we’re alright but we’re pushing our luck tonight
