[Verse 1]

What a nice day to make a list of all the things I need to do

My life’s in disarray and I’m beginning to think I might be screwed

What a nice day

I’m all dressed up as if I’ve got somewhere to be

This tie is kind of short and these shoes don’t fit, but there’s no one here to see

[Chorus]

I wish time would linger a little longer

I keep paying for all my problems

It’s not working out so well

I could have made the call to walk away, but I chose to run through hell

[Verse 2]

What a nice day

My girlfriend left me for some other dude

My mother is ashamed and she’s afraid that I might never move

[Chorus]

I wish time would linger a little longer

I keep paying for all my problems

It’s not working out so well

I could have made the call to walk away, but I chose to run through hell

[Verse 3]

We’re chasing cigarettes with coffee in the daylight, whisky with coke on the weekend

Everybody knows that we’re alright but we’re pushing our luck tonight

[Bridge]

All I remember thinking was, “is anybody still awake?” What a nice day to pay for all my problems

I should have walked away, but I chose to run through hell

[Verse 1]

What a nice day to make a list of all the things I need to do

My life’s in disarray and I’m beginning to think I might be screwed

[Chorus]

I wish time would linger a little longer

I keep paying for all my problems

It’s not working out so well

I could have made the call to walk away, but I chose to run through hell

[Outro]

What a nice day (I keep paying for all my problems)

What a nice day (I keep paying for all my problems)

What a nice day

I should've walked away, but I chose to run through hell
