A Good Life

I haven't read a book in ages and I'm afraid of my sink
I think I've lived a good life here when I consider everything
But I'm tired of writing sad songs, tired of wallowing
When another summer's came and passed while I hid in the dark singing

These sad songs
About growin older
Losin love and growin colder
But I'll be damned if this year I do it alone again
Think I need some help
I think I need a friend
I think I need a friend

I keep all my blinds drawn and I've been sleeping til 2
Been avoiding the news and only eatin gas station food
Thinkin there's people out there with it much worse than you
Silly young man with no will to even tie his shoes

Singin those sad songs
About growin older
Losin love and growin colder
But I'll be damned if this year I do it alone again
Think I need some help
I think I need a friend
I think I need a friend

When I was just a boy I dreamt I'd do so many things
Thought I'd rule the world, thought I would live like a king
But I'm sorry boy this is the best I've got for you
These days getting out of bed's much more than I can do

I think I've lived a good life here when I consider everything
Surrounded by love compassion and lovely company
I don't believe in God but I'll thank those skies above
And I'll sing for the world even when she's way too much

Singin these sad songs
About growin older
Losin love and growin colder
But I'll be damned if this year I do it alone again
Think I need some help
I think I need a friend

We can sing sad songs
While we grow older
I'll hold you close
Hope you won't grow colder
But I'll be damned if this year I do it alone again
I just wanna be some help
Cause I'm so glad to be your friend
