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
