Happy Boring Life Lyrics by The Shackletons

2019

[Verse 1]
It is hard to see that you can see I can't see
Through the wool that I knit over both our eyes
Well, we don't even have to try
Or act like we wanted to try
I am sixty percent sure that it was not me
Who locked the door that I am tryin' to get through
So I am standing in the hallway
Hoping somebody will come get me soon
[Refrain]
No, this is not the way I thought our night would end
Friend of a friend, 'til we meet again
[Chorus]
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I got the last part down, and I bought some time to make it right
I hope I live happy and boring
[Verse 2]
Well, thе posters in our headspace thеy are viewing
Some are taped, and some are tacked, and some are glued
But no one's ever really over you
So you never really noticed, did you?
And I never even came around the place
That you bought us at the bottom of this lake
So I am dreaming of the surface
While you dream of investments and real estate
[Chorus]
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I got the last part down, and I bought some time to make it right
I hope I live a happy and boring life
[Refrain]
'Cause no, this is not the way I thought our night would end
Friend of a friend, 'til we meet again
[Chorus]
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I hope I live a happy and boring life
I got the last part down, and I bought some time to make it right
I hope I live a happy and boring life
[Interlude]
{Outro]
I was reluctant to talk directly at you
In fear of the attacks that you would make
But there is nothing you can do
While I'm swimming towards the surface of the lake
