Something Good (w/ Scott. O Clamp)

Liner Notes:
Scott sent me these awesome lyrics and this is what sprang out.

This song still needs some background vocals and perhaps other instrumentation.

Lyrics:

Lately it’s been sneaking up behind me
Like a shadow just out of my sight
I’ve tried and tried to shake off this hunch,
You know I’ve tried with all my might

All my friends are wondering about me
All of them sense something isn’t right
Their worry shines when they call to kvetch,
I try so hard but I’m an unconvincing wretch

I’ve been thinking something good could happen
I’ve been thinking something good could happen
I know it’s irrational, I know it isn’t right
but I’ve been thinking something good could happen

What if it wasn’t all simply doom and gloom?
What if no one snickered every time I left the room?
What if my suspicions were all proven null and false?
What if it came as no surprise I woke this morning with a pulse?

I had a smile that I could not be rid of
My boss mistook me for another man
All this bare-faced happiness wasn’t what I’d planned
Now I’m in the air with no sight of land–

I think I’ll ask you if you’re busy Friday
And if you should be, well, then that’s all right
There will be other chances, there will be other nights
and one day I think you’ll see the light

I’ve been thinking something good could happen
I’ve been thinking something good could happen
I know it’s irrational, I know it isn’t right
but I’ve been thinking something good could happen
