lyrics

it's 4am and I can't sleep again
with those damn people upstairs being so loud
it's like they're laughing at me
and now I'm crying you see
it's a lonely road that you go down

and now that fridge is making some awful sound

I want just one stab at the good life
at the good life

get up for work in the morning
spill some coffee on my shirt
there's nothing new in this routine

the car won't start
and it's still way too dark outside
these winter months just seem so mean

and I keep trying to fight this empty feeling

I want just one stab at the good life
at the good life
I just want to know what it feels like
what it feels like

well I’m not asking for luxury
and it doesn't have to be easy
but please just give me a reason
to keep trying

I want just one stab at the good life
at the good life
I just want to know what it feels like
what it feels like
I want just one stab at the good life
a house and a good wife, a dog and a fenceline
I just want to know what it feels like
what it feels like
