[Bridge: Kate Nash]
Hey, asshole,
See the sun is shining
But you are not smiling
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why.
I'm an asshole,
‘Cause the sun is shining,
But I am not smiling
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why.
[Chorus: Kate Nash & Watsky]
I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold,
But I don't see no fuckin' rainbow and my coffee's cold.
I know I should be grateful,
I know I'm good and able,
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table.
This kind of shot comes once,
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away,
And that's the fifth this month.
But when you take a punch,
Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next.
[Verse 1: Watsky]
Got the power of my will,
I don't wanna to win a mil',
But I'm looking at windowsill.
Gotta take a bitter pill,
Gonna pay for what I did to my head, and my heart'll foot the bill.
Got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself
I developed a habit of knocking out my front tooth,
Looking uncouth,
Want to hear the truth
Give it to me straight, 151 proof.
Telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy but I'm climbing up a ladder that has got no end,
Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top,
I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend.
All I want to do is buck this trend,
Everybody need a buck to spend,
And I'll be working on myself till I work on someone else,
Till I get there I'ma just pretend.
[Chorus: Kate Nash & Watsky]
I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold,
But I don't see no fuckin' rainbow and my coffee's cold.
I know I should be grateful,
I know I'm good and able,
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table.
This kind of shot comes once,
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away,
And that's the fifth this month.
But when you take a punch,
Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next.
[Bridge: Kate Nash]
Hey, asshole,
See the sun is shining
But you are not smiling
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why.
I'm an asshole,
‘Cause the sun is shining,
But I am not smiling
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why.
[Verse 2: Watsky]
When I'm in a crisis,
In a moment of silence
I look under my eyelids
And I'm checking my mileage.
I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style, it's
So I can reach in and pimpslap my reflection for acting childish.
Spent a half an hour
Sitting at the bottom of my shower,
Letting the water run over my body and, dammit, I wanted to get up but I didn't have the power.
I don't have the answers anyway.
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean,
Because the plan of the planet is just mean,
Knew if was tough, but, dammit, it's obscene,
I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit
And I'ma rough it if I have enough steam.
I'll keep on coming and coming until I'm coming with
The stamina of a salmon, who's heading upstream.
[Chorus: Kate Nash & Watsky]
I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold,
But I don't see no fuckin' rainbow and my coffee's cold.
I know I should be grateful,
I know I'm good and able,
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table.
This kind of shot comes once,
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away,
And that's the fifth this month.
But when you take a punch,
Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next.
