I'm sittin' in this cafe

People talking so loud

I can't hear myself think

And that's not a bad thing

The coffee keeps on coming

The waiter keeps smiling

As I'm riding on this river of caffeine

And that's not a bad thing


I used to feel sorry for someone like me

In a corner booth pretending to read

On a Friday night

I used to say it just ain't right

How could anybody ever have any fun

Without somebody, without someone

It never dawned on me

The possibility

That it's not a bad thing


All those thoughts of how will I live without you

Tonight you know they're few and far between

The waiter's name is Joey

He told me and that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring

And that's not a bad thing


There's a tug on the edge of my heart

It's you again saying, "don't you start letting go of me"

But I'm not listening

For once in my life I'll feel what I feel

Let it be

Let it be real

Let it flow through me and wash me clean

Yeah it's not a bad thing

It's not a bad thing


As I'm driving home I'm thinking

The worse might be over

Or maybe I'm a little bit naive

But the streetlights seem brighter as I walk up to my front door

I'm all alone when I turn the key

And it's not a bad thing

No it's not a bad thing
