Description
Sometimes life turns into a bad comedy without retakes or editing. Dreams fly by, crushing your heart. You lose your job, your teeth hurt, there's ketchup on your shirt, and instead of a tuxedo, you're wearing an old football shirt. It seems like everything is going wrong, but inside, that stubborn little motor still turns on: ‘Come on, we'll survive.’
There is something strangely cleansing about this chaos. When ambitions, propriety and plans fall away, all that remains is you - with a bottle, sarcasm and a willingness to laugh at yourself. Because if you're going to roll your stone uphill, you might as well do it with style.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Had the worst day ever so far
Got run over by my dream car
Spent forever in the E.R
Slowly going insane
Lost my job at Little Caesars
Drinking whiskey cause my teeth hurt
My tuxedo was a T-Shirt
But, you know what they say
Well, whatever it was (I'll live without it)
Yeah whatever you are (Can't seem to care)
See it's only because (Forgot about it)
So no matter how far (I'll meet you there)
Well, whatever it was (I'll live without it)
Yeah whatever you are (Can't seem to care)
See it's only because (Forgot about it)
So no matter how far (I'll meet you there)
Push the boulder up the mountain
Throw your pennies in the fountain
And your blessings you'll be counting
But you're paying to play
As the darkness was surrounding
And my heart began a pounding
You could feel the tension mounting
And it never did break
Well, whatever it was (I'll live without it)
Yeah whatever you are (Can't seem to care)
See it's only because (Forgot about it)
So no matter how far (I'll meet you there)
Well, whatever it was (I'll live without it)
Yeah whatever you are (Can't seem to care)
See it's only because (Forgot about it)
So no matter how far (I'll meet you there)
