What I’m Listening To, part 17
The way these posts work is, I’m going to post the lyrics with my thoughts in between the lines like this.
Lisa Loeb - Doesn’t It Feel Good
She's says, he shows up on time
He's really nice
Shouldn't I be happy?
He opens the door
He wants to know me
Shouldn't I be happy?
I ticked all the boxes, and everyone
Says they love us together
So why am I feeling this way?
I wish people took those 3 lines into account more often. Don’t force people to be a couple if they’re not really compatible, just because you think they go together.
But you know the feeling when something is missing
You don't wanna miss out
It hurts but you won't walk away
Well, you can walk away, walk away, walk away
And shouldn't it feel good?
Well you can walk away, walk away, walk away
And shouldn't it feel good?
He says, I've got a nice life
Everything's fine
Shouldn't I be happy?
I've got a job
It pays really well
Shouldn't I be happy?
Chris. Those 6 lines reminded me of him as soon as I heard them. They were the catalyst for this post. Sometimes he’s this type of way and I wish he wasn’t sad or anxious about everything.
It looks good on paper and everyone's proud
I got what I wanted, so why am I feeling this way?
Am I living the dream or just falling asleep
It's so hard to leave
But it's getting much harder to stay
Well you can walk away
Walk away, walk away
And doesn't it feel good?
Until you take a step then, you'll never know
Well you can walk away
Walk away, walk away
And doesn't it feel good?
Until you take a step then, you'll never know
If it doesn’t feel right, or doesn’t feel right anymore, it’s perfectly ok to walk away. I wish more people learned that too. There’s no need, no point to live in misery just because you don’t want to deal with a brief period of pain.
Oh, you know that it's all right to change your mind
Until you take a step then, you'll never know
Well you can walk away, walk away, walk away
And doesn't it feel good?
Until you take a step
Yeah, doesn't it feel good
Doesn't it feel good
Doesn't it feel good
Doesn't it feel good
