Instead

(专辑： Bare Bones - 2009)

Instead of feeling bad, be glad you've got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad, be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low, get high on everything that you love
Instead of wasting time, feel good 'bout what you're dreaming of.

Instead of trying to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know, eventually you'll love her good
It's silly to pretend that you have something you don't own
Just let her be your woman and you'll be her man:

Instead of feeling broke, buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losing hope, touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of being old, be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold, let sunshine into your heart.

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you're closer to the place you need to be
It's up to you to let her love you sweetly:

Instead of feeling bad be glad you've got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad, be happy there's a god above
Instead of feeling low, remember you're never on your own
Instead of feelin sad, be happy that she's there at home
She's waiting for you by the phone
So be glad that she is all your own!

Get happy
She's waiting for you by the telephone.
So get back home!
