Journal of Gratitude Day 17


Today I am grateful for the music that decorates my life...
I like Train, and during a NASCAR pre-race show, I heard their song, "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" and it cracks me up. And not only cause a friend of mine used to love a Scion...

My heart is paralyzed, My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should,
You said it's meant to be, That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane, Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water, Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died

My pride still feels the sting, You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman, Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She was caught in a mudslide, Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion (Just saying, Lyle)
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert, Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died

I wanna live a thousand lives with you, I wanna be the one you're dying to
Love...but you don't want to...

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane, Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water, Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

She was caught in a mudslide, Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert, Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
