Текст пісні
We only look for what we're looking for
Like "life in these times" is just an online store
And the feeling it gives to find that great big "X"
Is enough, no need to dig for what we expect
To find once we plant and let the flag unfurl
That's why he only sung about Jessie's girl
Didn't bother to ignore his friend and get her name
To have and see and want is all the same
We look up and only see the fall of man
Look down to think "Well, he's done the best he can"
And when we strain, we can barely make out what's it for
But we squint 'cause the air's so thick with all this metaphor
Like sad sacks looking guilty fishing payphones for change
Hayseeds hazing hayseeds in this transient age
Some friends are midnight and some are eight
The fact we think we're gods, and god is good, and god is great!
So ask me, What if you were right?
And I'll say, "Darling, let's see wonderful tonight"
See, we end up seeing only what we want to find
And end up missing everything we've left behind
In the wake of good-and-bad and what's in between
Leaving us open to fuck up everything royally
And when we see billboards for buildings in areas
Right enough to convince the right people to marry ya
Remember, let's aim high but punch below our weight
Because Life is Good, and we are great
So ask me, What if you were right?
And I'll say, "Darling, let's see wonderful tonight"
