Ryan Adams Lyrics

I try so hard to be good
I put a lot of effort into trying to be a good person

I get these bad ideas
But sometimes I come up with negative thoughts or actions

It doesn't always work out
Unfortunately, my attempts to be good don't always succeed

But I try...
However, I continue to make an effort

To feel the sunlight on my eyes
I yearn to experience the warmth and positivity of life

Shake off the shadows
To rid myself of the lingering darkness in my life

That were following me around
Which constantly accompany and haunt me

It's very nice you know and quite a lot to take in
It's truly enjoyable and overwhelming at times

To feel the sunlight and start growing again
To embrace positivity and personal growth

I taught myself to push it away
I trained myself to ignore or distance myself from negativity

I was watching, watching you do it to me
I observed how others would put me down or bring negativity into my life

I taught myself to throw it away
I learned to discard those negative influences

And you get used to being happy
Over time, you become accustomed to experiencing happiness

you get used to it, used to it, used to it...
It becomes a familiar and regular part of your life

I like to think about the clouds...
I enjoy contemplating the movement and beauty of the clouds

How they are moving
Their graceful and ever-changing motion

Sometimes it's nice to stay home...
Occasionally, I find solace in staying home

When everybody goes out
While others are out and about

It's nice and quiet when they call it's so loud
The contrast between the peacefulness at home and the noise of social interactions

I don't understand
I struggle to comprehend why people choose certain actions or behaviors

I shuffle cool across the boulevard
I walk confidently along the street

My feet move steady, my shoes go up and down
I have a steady and rhythmic stride

I'm always late you know...
I tend to be consistently late

Late and never ready
Even when late, I am unprepared

I keep it steady though
Despite my lateness, I maintain composure

When I get tight and all up right
When I become anxious and overly concerned

Make no mistake to be user don't mean loser
One should not confuse being a user with being a loser

Witty and cruel they are so easy to confuse
It can be easily mistaken that being clever and mean are the same

You'll learn eventually or...
In time, you will come to understand

Eventually you'll lose it...
At some point, you will lose your way

Eventually you'll lose it...
At some point, you will lose your way

Get used to it...
Prepare yourself for that eventuality
