My car broke down today On the way to my 5AM flight And my friends just bought a place Way newer and nicer than mine It seems (It seems) like every day There's another thing you can find For the list of things you don't like (Don't like) But when you really look at your life Half empty of half full, it's what you make it Not tryin' to brush it off but I'm just sayin' It ain't half bad (Ohh, ohh, ohh) It ain't half bad (Ohh, ohh, ohh) Forget about the greener grass You gotta find a way to learn to calculate all of the blessings that you have (Ohh, ohh, ohh) 'Cause when you do the math it ain't half bad (Is it recording?) My alarm didn't go off today So I guess I missed my appointment Bizarre, I can't concentrate in my current state It's annoying All of my friends are nine to fivers And here I am with no job, tired And a list of things on my plate (My plate) But when I think about it I'm great Half empty of half full, it's how you see it I don't wanna end up older not believing that It ain't half bad (Ohh, ohh, ohh) It ain't half bad (Ohh, ohh, ohh) Forget about the greener grass You gotta find a way to learn to calculate all of the blessings that you have (Ohh, ohh, ohh) 'Cause when you do the math it ain't half bad (Even when there is no hope, the key is to keep going) (The key is progression) We get so close but can't solve the riddle We get caught up, we're stuck in the middle My friends, they all got it But my mind's autopilot So try your best to look on the bright side You forgot your shades, you can have mine Let's be honest If we're talking all in all It ain't half bad (Ohh, ohh, ohh) (Ohh, ohh, ohh) (Ohh, ohh, ohh) (Ohh, ohh, ohh) 'Cause when you do the math it ain't half bad
