These Words You Want to Hear

don't you think it's time

you get on over that?

don't you think you had enough?

i mean, i know you had it rough

but that pansy-fancy way of looking grim all through the day and night?

is something wrong my dear?

have i said it way to clear?

then let me whisper in your ear

all these words i know are wrong

but for the sake of writing song

here is what i guess you want to hear

somewhere up there

the sky is blue for you

somewhere out there

there's something new to do

somebody loves you

tell me do you think

you have some exclusivity

on every shadow of regret

that's lurking in proximity

to what you think your life should be?

but if you close your eyes you'll see

that there is nothing for you here

still the only words you hear

are somewhere up there

the sky is blue for you

somewhere out there

there is something new to do

somebody loves you

now tell me how about we maybe

switch things for a change?

i will lie down in denial

and you can have this page

its condescending and its sad

you're not the only one that's had

a life like this, i'm sorry dear

but it's what everybody wants to hear
