Wonderful

Everclear - Wonderful

I close my eyes when I get too sad

I think thoughts that I know are bad

Close my eyes and I count to ten

Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before

Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door

I wish I could count to ten

Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad

Will figure out why they get so mad

Hear them scream, I hear them fight

They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed

And I dream of angels who make me smile

I feel better when I hear them say

[00:47.05]Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little and the world's so big

[00:56.45]I just don't understand how

[01:00.14]You can smile with all those tears in your eyes

Tell me everything is wonderful now

[01:13.58]Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play

I tell the kids that it's all okay

I laugh aloud so my friends won't know

When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes

I make believe that I have a new life

I don't believe you when you say

Promises mean everything when you're little and the world is so big

When you tell me everything is wonderful now

[01:55.72]No

[01:58.05]No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

[02:14.53]I don't wanna hear you say

That I will understand someday

[02:19.42]No, no, no, no

You both have grown in a different way

I don't wanna meet your friends

And I don't wanna start over again

I just want my life to be the same, just like it used to be

Some days I hate everything

I hate everything

Everyone and everything

I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
