"Ending the album as positively as I could was important, since my previous album, Revelry Remedy, although also technically positive in its message, was not exactly uplifting musically. Life, for me, is better now. This last song is a reflection of this."

[lyrics]
I don't deserve the things I have
But screw it cause you won't see me complaining
There's a lesson here to be had
Are you prepared because it's quite cliche
good things come to those who wait
So one day
I went all the way on a train
My eye sight is dog poo, I'm colour blind too
but when I arrived the sky turned bright blue
But before I learned my lesson
On my mind, there was this question
Every time I closed my eyes I asked myself
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
I have the nerve not to be sad
It's really easy once you find your own way
That might just take a small while
And while you wait enjoy the sun and the rain
All your mates are waiting, your girl is too
but keep in mind they've been sad too
But before I learned my lesson
On my mind, there was this question
Every time I closed my eyes I asked myself
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
There's always tomorrow
There's always tomorrow
There's always tomorrow
You are the answer
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait for you
You are the answer
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
