Wouldn’t It Be Nice

[Verse 1]
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could go a day without
Feeling like this
Wouldn’t it be something if I could stop these words from
Rolling off my lips
I'm overheating, my mind's overrun
My dirty lips always cursing out someone
But I try to keep quiet 'cause they don’t care either way
To take a moment and ask if I'm okay

[Verse 2]
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a boy ask you on a date
Or say you're beautiful
Instead of feeling overshadowed by six-foot blonde girls
Or just feeling ignored
They all drive me insane, their narcissistic lives
They’re all the same, all pointless problems in my eyes
I feel like I'm walking in my own nightmare
A horror film on repeat, but there’s no one there

[Chorus]
So before you raise your arm to judge me like you would
Remember we’ve all got our stories, they’re not always good
I can admit that I am lonely and I'm often left alone
But it doesn’t mean that I'm not worth something
And you should really know
People aren’t always alright, they aren’t most of the time
So stop thinking of yourself and ask from time to time
Wouldn’t it be nice if people could be nice?

[Verse 3]
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could take a long look
In the mirror each day and feel okay
Wouldn’t it be so damn happy if that boy I liked
Said something to me today
Wouldn’t it be nice to be invited
To things and embraced just a little bit
Instead of being the giver with your hands always out
But maybe that’s unrealistic

[Verse 4]
Wouldn’t it be nice to see your parents
Hold hands or share a kiss
Instead of sleeping in different rooms
Always yelling or keeping secrets
Wouldn’t it be nice if they paid for your every wish
And you never had to work a day in your life
But turns out they struggle to pay their own bills
And for them too, nothing's going right

[Chorus]
So before you raise your arms to judge me like you would
Remember we’ve all got our stories, they’re not always good
I can admit that I am lonely 'cause I'm often left alone
Doesn’t mean that I'm not worth something
And you should really know
People aren’t always alright, they aren’t most of the time
So stop thinking of yourself and ask from time to time
Wouldn’t it be nice if people could be nice?

[Verse 5]
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could have no problems
And my stress didn’t have stress
Who would I be without them?
I’ve been thinking this to myself
No one ever asks me or even
Thinks I would have so many secrets
But I've learned people need people
To have a certain type of happiness

[Bridge]
So as I sit in the car and drive along the coast
With the loudest band on and tears along my nose
I would say
I hope you thought of someone else during this song today

[Chorus]
So before you raise your arms to judge me like you would
Remember we’ve all got our stories, they’re not always good
I can admit that I am lonely and I'm often left alone
But it doesn’t mean I'm not worth something
And you should really know
People aren’t always alright, they aren’t most of the time
So stop thinking of yourself and ask from time to time
Wouldn’t it be nice if people could be nice?

[Outro]
Wouldn't it be nice if people could be nice?
