[Verse 1]
I can see mountains
I can see sky
I sometimes wish that I was blind
To all the future that we left behind

[Verse 2]
I walk on shaky ground
Nervous, I leave the house
In the dark before the dawn
A commuter with no place to run

[Chorus 1]
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime

[Verse 3]
Last night, I was afraid
My head was locked in pain
I thought, "A person could go mad!"
No one can help you when it gets this bad

[Verse 4]
But I thought about your way
I had a picture of your face
I was wishing you the best
Sending you love with evеry tired breath
[Chorus 1]
I wish I could be contеnt with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime

[Bridge]
When we were very young, we loved our selfish fun
We cared what people thought about our selfish words
You could not tell us then how much we wouldn't care
'Bout all the mindless trivia, now we've got kids and dystopia

[Chorus 1]
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime

[Chorus 2]
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
I wish I could walk away from the 'No one gets me'
From my sense of envy to the benign

[Chorus 1]
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime
[Refrain]
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
