lyrics

i’m in bliss
it’s been a while
since i’ve felt so good
and wasn’t in denial
these battle scars*
now make me smile
oh, it’s nice to be back now

these kids on the street
playing nasty games
and creating defeat
that used to be me**
but now i see
oh, i’m breathless now


i feel joy
when the sun shines down
this is exactly
what life’s all about
you run those miles
then rest for a while
oh, ignore past struggles***

this girl of mine****
she makes me smile
all the time
i can’t describe it
but i’m trying
oh, let the music try now


*i never fought in a war, in case that wasn't obvious yet.
**no, that was never me.
***says the little suburban boy who's biggest struggle thus far was breaking his Game Cube in 2007.
****not that i have ever claimed ownership of a woman, nor would i ever consider such a thing, of course. perhaps this saying is a tad bit out of date.
