Lyrics:
I really hope that you find happiness
And that book you write’s magnificent
And I won’t help but stare at every word
It would burn holes in many mattresses
After I place it down
Read in full
That lovely little book
Titled “I Told You So”
Yeah, you’re Thoreau-ly mad at the world
And yeah it sucks, but this place will never change
I think it will probably get way worse
At best stay the same so
You’ll be fucking world renown
While I’m getting drunk at my house
Thinking about the dumb words I said
When I was a bit too high
Those two pills I took felt very nice
But made me break your lovely little heart
And I said, “Ashley, that’s so fucking dumb
To think that life just hands you some
Book that you barely have to write.
It’s gonna take like fuckin’ four or five
Bad books nobody would ever like
For you to live that wonderful life.”
And she stopped and she cried
That night, but she’s right
She’s going to write that book
That’s gonna make
Me look like a fuckin’ fool
And I know that she’ll find happiness
And her book will be magnificent
And I won’t help but stare at every word
It would burn holes in all these mattresses
After I place it down, read in full
That lovely little book titled “I Told You So”
Yea, you’re Thoreau-ly mad at me
But so what, I’m never gonna change
I’ll probably get way worse, at best, stay the same
So I will sit and I will drink myself
To either sleep or untimely death
Either way, I hope that you don’t cry, ya know
That’s just a part of life
Derek’s father and my father know
Cirrhosis is a tough way to go
So when we drink a lot after our show
Pretending that we’re not even scared at all
Genetics are what make me go to bed
Because there’s something that’s inside my head
That will click and make me drink until I’m dead
And Derek’s dad and my dad are done
So I will sit and I'll think
About this life
And If I even like it
But I know
That I’m
I’m gonna find
A little bit of happiness
It’s either in my house or somewhere else
But I am turning over every stone
And I will search the fuckin’ depths of this
Stupid place, my kids will have to live
In order just to smile a little bit
But you know, I’m Thoreau-ly in love with you
And ya I’m really scared that I may never change
But I’m so fucking done being so afraid
I really hope that you find happiness
