Meaning Again

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the interstate
The end of another day
Feeling tired, feeling beat up, feeling small
Sick of running this rat race
And coming in last place
Feeling like I don't matter at all

[Chorus]
And then I walk through the door
She says "I missed you, where ya been?"
And just like that
My life has meaning again

[Verse 2]
Sometimes work takes her away
She's gone a couple days
I overdose on ESPN
Between reruns of Sports Center
One too many drive-through windows
I wind up counting down the minutes
Till her plane comes in

[Chorus]
And then she walks through the door
She sets her suitcase down
And then just like that
My life has meaning again

[Bridge]
If there's one thing
I've learned in this life
It's that breathing don't make you alive
You need a reason
Some grander scheme why you're here
Buddy, I've found mine

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Sometimes I think
What's the point?
This messed up world we're living in
And then she smiles
It all makes sense
Yeah, just like that
My life has meaning again
