The Blessing & The Curse
From the morning
All through the day
Got all these songs playing in my head
Don't know where they come from
Or what the hell they want
I only know they won't leave me alone
So I'm writing all these songs
About my childhood friends
Long lost lovers
And my mom and dad
And God knows what else
Oh oh, yeah
Hopin' they will resonate
With someone out there
Making me feel like there's someone who cares
That I'm not that lone
Oh oh, yeah
Every night I'm up there singin'
Tryin' to make sense of me and this life
That I still can't understand
Every night I'm up there dancin'
Only makin' a fool out of me
Like it's something that needs to be done
It's a blessing and a curse
In the dream business
Business is bad
Chances are you're gonna wake up dead
One of these mornings
When you're feeling so drained
Keep telling yourself
You're gonna make it this time
That it's only just a matter of
Never giving up
Every night I'm up there singin'
Tryin' to make sense of me and this life
That I still can't understand
Every night I'm up there dancin'
Only makin' a fool out of me
Like it's something that needs to be done
It's a blessing
A blessing
And a curse
Guess I'm looking for a special kinda place
Some kind of connection to the rest of the human race
Where you can lose and you can fail
I'm on a rampage now
Just watch me
Ha ha ha ha!
Every night I'm up there singin'
Tryin' to make sense of me and this life
That I still can't understand
Every night I'm up there dancin'
Only makin' a fool out of me
Like it's something that needs to be done
It's a blessing
A blessing
And a curse
All through the day
Got all these songs playing in my head
Don't know where they come from
Or what the hell they want
I only know they won't leave me alone
So I'm writing all these songs
About my childhood friends
Long lost lovers
And my mom and dad
And God knows what else
Oh oh, yeah
Hopin' they will resonate

Making me feel like there's someone who cares
That I'm not that lone
Oh oh, yeah
Every night I'm up there singin'
Tryin' to make sense of me and this life

Every night I'm up there dancin'

Every night I'm up there dancin'
Only makin' a fool out of me
Like it's something that needs to be done
It's a blessing
A blessing
And a curse
