If Life Exists

I think if life exists

It's probably like this

I had a common goal

I caught a common cold

I said when I get healthy

I won't take it for granted

And I really thought I meant it but I knew when I got better that I'd probably forget it

Feeling fine wasn't worth a mention

So I didn't pay attention

And it seems that's just the way

Its all easier said that done

And it's not even easy to say

And when I get back home

I'll see what's left before I'd gone

A thousand sheets of paper

I'll see what they are later

And then I've gotta roam

And back and forth I've flown

And when I get back home I'll see what's left before I've gone

Two thousand sheets of paper

I'll see what they are later

Well it's hard to get too bored

When you pick the right two chords

And you keep on strumming

As if you don't know what's coming

Now I don't have a girlfriend and I wish I was more happy

Now I have a girlfriend and I wish I was more happy

Now I have two girlfriends and I wish I was more happy

Now I have four girlfriends and I wish I was more happy

And when I'm in an airplane

I close my eyes and pretend

That it's a rocket pointed straight down

Shooting at the earth again

Now I am more happy and I wish I was more happy

If I was a little smarter

If I worked a little harder

But emotions in the brain

They'll always be the same

It's just chemicals and blob

And what you've got is what you've got

And you just apply it to whatever's passing by it

Just like the guitar pick that I could not keep in my grip

It's like all the love I lose 'cos I could never fill the shoes

But it's just because I have no feet

And then I think every minute of every day I have a choice

To wish things could be better or be glad things aren't be worse

And maybe every minute of every day we have the choice

To say, "Things could be better," or to say, "Things could be worse."

And I think if life exists

It's probably like this

But it's hard to get too bored

When you pick the right two chords

And you keep on strumming

As if you don't know what's coming

And it seems that's just the way

It's all easier said that done

And it's not even easy to say
