Lyrics

But what Uncle Alex found objectionable
About so many human beings
Is that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy
And, so, we would be sitting under an apple tree, for instance
On a july afternoon, drinking lemonade
And Uncle Alex would stop, everything, and say
"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is!"
And I hope that you will take up this habit too
Of noticing when things are really, awfully nice
And say, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is"
I've been feelin' smaller than the smallest kid I knew when I was five
Paying close attention to the way I feel when everything feels fine
If I showed a picture of the way my brain looks now to yesterday
Surely it'd convince me just how suddenly the stubborness can change
Things are
Things are
Things are
Good
If this isn't nice
What is?
Hurry then get dressed
I pull the sheet over my head and I lie
I cant seem to pause
Full effect and yet no cause
Shut my eyes
I can take my time
I can decide
I can pay no mind
But rarely do I
Things are
Things are
Things are
Good
If this isn't nice
What is?
Things are
Things are
Things are
Good
If this isn't nice
What is?
The rarest moments, sweet
Feel like lifetimes between me
And reasons why
But the moments I repeat
Are the moments I don't need
Stuck in mind
And the grimmest thoughts I keep
Are painting primrose places deep
With shades of night
And the messed up things I think
Are messing up the nights I need
To even try
Things are
Things are
Things are
Good
If this isn't nice
What is?
Things are
Things are
Things are
Good
If this isn't nice
What is?
If this isn't nice
What is?
If this isn't nice
What is?
