I hope that there’s a reason for the way I am today,
a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away.
Happy as a dove and drunk as a sailor.
I hope that there’s a reason for the way I am today,
a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away.
It takes a day of preparation to be on my best behavior.
And maybe you’re the same as me.
Verse 1
I find silence more intimidating than an elephant stampede.
And I find silence more aggressive than a snake between my feet.
Oh, maybe it’s just me.
Chorus
I hope that there’s a reason for the way I am today,
a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away.
Happy as a dove and drunk as a sailor.
It takes a day of preparation to be on my best behavior.
And maybe you’re the same as me.
Verse 2
I could keep my body numb and make fun of every little thing I see.
Or I could keep myself distracted from the questions that dig a little bit too deep.
But that’s not for me.
Cause I know that seeing’s not believing.
You’ve gotta believe to see. You’ve gotta believe to see.
Chorus
I hope that there’s a reason for the way I am today,
a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away.
Happy as a dove and drunk as a sailor.
It takes a day of preparation to be on my best behavior.
Bridge
Chorus
I hope that there’s a reason for the way I am today,
a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away.
Happy as a dove and drunk as a sailor,
drunk as a sailor, drunk as a sailor.
