Wonderful Songtext
von Everclear

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it′s over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad


Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world′s so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes

Tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it′s all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won′t know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don′t believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday


Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don′t understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don′t wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you say

That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don′t wanna meet your friends
And I don′t wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything

I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I don′t wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
