It's the happiest day of the year
And I'm still alive
But I don't know how
And I couldn't tell you why
For the first time in a long time
I can finally say that I'm glad
To be breathing and feeling
Tonight made the world not seem as bad
This is the story
Of half a year of my life in a nutshell
Though it's badly cracked, I am still intact
And I've been healing well
This is a warning
A reminder of just how cold it can get
My fear of regret
If I ever let this happen again
I was waking up
And cursing the hands on my clock
And I was breaking up
My nights are so bland and my days taste like chalk
And I was burning up
I thought I might freeze; I was down on my knees in surrender
But now I am fixing up
I've put it the effort, and now I feel better than ever
I was burning up
I thought I might freeze; I was down on my knees in surrender
Now I'm all fixed up
And I swear I am better than ever
I swear I am better than ever
But I never stay better forever
But this just wouldn't feel right
Without a song of hope
And I'll be damned
If I end on a minor note
And in four more bars
This will all end where it began
These white boy blues
And this clichéd guitar in my hand
