Not a Bad Thing

I'm sittin' in this cafe

People talkin' so loud

I can't hear myself think

And that's not a bad thing

The coffee keeps on coming

Waiter keeps smilin'

As I'm ridin' on this river of caffeine

And that's not a bad thing

I used to feel sorry for someone like me

In a corner booth

Pretendin' to read on a Friday night

I used to say, "It just ain't right"

How could anybody ever have any fun

Without somebody, without someone?

It never dawned on me, the possibility

That it's not a bad thing

All those thoughts

Of how would I live without you

Tonight you know, they're few and far between

The waiter's name is Joey, he told me

And that's when I noticed

He ain't wearing any ring

And that's not a bad thing

There's a tug on the edge of my heart

It's you again sayin'

"Don't you start lettin' go of me"

But I'm not listenin'

For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel

Let it be, let it be real, let it flow through me

And wash me clean

That's not a bad thing, it's not a bad thing

As I'm drivin' home

I'm thinkin' the worst might be over

Or maybe I'm a little bit naive

But the street lights seem brighter

As I walk up to my front door

I'm all alone when I turn the key

And it's not a bad thing

No, it's not a bad thing
