Have I Handled This Well? Lyrics by Barrett Riggins

Good Ol’

2019

[Verse]
Eating Milk Duds
In a historical theater
That now has those seats that recline
Flash floods
And ambient thunder outside
And I hear it's a sign
I was craving Milk Duds
As I casually paddled upstream
In my little toy boat
Wearing ear buds
Completely distracted
Unfocused but staying afloat
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven't moved much
Do you think I'm out of touch
In ways that I'll never accept?
Desperate for praise
And in light of darkening days
I'm amazed how in touch I have kept
[Verse]
With my Milk Duds
In a historical theater
Transfixed like a moth to the light of the screen
See that Paul Rudd's
As tiny as ever
Yet bigger than someone like me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now tell me the truth
Do you think I'm wasting my youth
Just soaking in stories you tell?
Sputtered up smoke
Belly full of candy and coke
Too broken to break out my shell
[Chorus]
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well
[Verse]
News flash
This historical fiction you're writing
Is taking a while
And it's a swift crash
From the Milk Duddy sugar high
Laying me out in the aisle
Somehow I can't help but smile
So I smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I off-base
Worrying the smile on my face
Could appear like I don't give a damn?
In this strange atmosphere
I have trouble sounding sincere
But here in this theater, I am
[Chorus]
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well
[Bridge]
I've started to think
That hurrying past her
Is advantageous
But all that we watch
Are blockbuster movies
That disengage us
Sensational times
When courting disaster
Is advantageous
But all we do is watch
These blockbuster movies
That disengage us
[Chorus]
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well (mmm)
Oh stop
Hoping I'll handle this well
