If this is as bad as it gets I know that I'll be okay As long as it doesn't get worse That is what I always say Right before it gets worse It always gets worse My name is Ciaran And I sleep on a dining room floor On a fouton That I got from a second hand store I wash dishes part time For the minimum wage And my money's always spent By the time I get paid I wanna win the lottery I want a real life I want to feel love For more than a night When one door closes All the others stay closed I better get used to being alone So here's a farewell To old friends and old teams The people that I Can only see in my dreams I've got these little reminders Of far away lands Sleeping in bunkbeds And playing in bands My whole life I had nothing to say I always tried to stay out of the way But all my nightmares keep coming true And saying it's all good is all I can do Half the people I work with Are never gonna learn my name So much for new beginnings They're always the same They're always the same Yeah they're always the same
