Something pretty
[Verse 1]
Up and down
On my luck
But how
At the same time
Remembering
All the things my parents taught me right
Smiling when my cards decline
Knowing everything’s alright
Without money or status
Floor for a mattress
Try as I might
With my hands open wide
Begging strangers for change
From their pockets in transit
Follow their eyes to remind me I’m grounded
I’ll take what you can give me
Survive off of pity
Working for free ain’t so bad
When you’re working on something you love and
You make something pretty
You’ll have to forgive me
I know that I can’t
[Chorus 1]
Still, I’ve been doing fine
See the sunrise every night
Yeah, I’ve been doing fine
Yeah, I’ve been doing fine
See the sunrise every night
Yeah, I find silver linings in denial
A lying smile is still a smile and
I’m okay
Still, I’ve been doing fine
[Verse 1]
Smell like a casino
In a room full of people
Each one a saint and a boy scouted eagle
Each one afraid you’ll turn out like a sequel
“Another one down, giving up all his freedoms”
I’m no one
I’m no fun
I’m broken
I’m bleeding
Choking on nothing
I’m faithless but leaping
Businessmen meet business people at meetings
Casual friends exist sometimes on weekends
I got room for friends
Just don’t know where to meet 'em
Got room for growth
Heard you grow more while sleeping
Do what I’m told but I’ll make you repeat it
Don’t know why I’m leaving
Hope you understand
[Chorus 2]
That I’ve been doing fine
See the sunrise every night
Yeah, I’ve been doing fine
See the sunrise every night
