Album: Inside Out (2001)

For A While


Saturday, slept through the morning
Just let the phone ring; now isn't that strange
I watched cartoons; poor ol' coyote
Someone had a worse day than me for a change
And it made me happy
It made me smile
For a while

You always said my friends were all crazy
Baby, here lately it seems I fit in
We go out just like the old days
Try to find new ways to go there again
And it makes me happy
It makes me smile
For a while

[Chorus 1:]
Ev'rything's just fine
A little ray of sunshine
I didn't feel the faultline
Runnin' straight through my heart
I didn't think about you
I didn't come unglued
It's a temporary undo
But it's a start
It's a start

Late at night, I write my own movie
And I am the star when I close my eyes
Except I look like Julia Roberts
And you're just the poor jerk that I walk on by
And it makes me happy
It makes me smile
For a while

[Chorus 2:]
Ev'rything's just fine
A little ray of sunshine
I didn't feel the faultline
Runnin' straight through my heart
I didn't think about you
I didn't come unglued
It's a temporary undo
But it's a start

Little vict'ries
I'll take 'em, yeah

[Repeat chorus 2]

Mmm, yeah
It's a start
