Did you ever feel

Like you were painted into place

In a picture in a room

That's decorated in bad taste

You say "is this my best,

Then I'm not impressed"

You wonder how did you get here

But it's exactly as you fear

CHORUS

You are where you want to be

You find yourself where you belong

And every fool is looking for what any fool can see

You are where you want to be

You've tried so hard

You think you'd be satisfied

But you've been in too many places

That looked much better from outside

Life's an alternating chain

Of boredom and pain

You wonder why you want to live

Till you consider the alternative

CHORUS

I know the way to happiness

I know the secret of success

I know the way to happiness

It's knowing this is as good as it gets

Did you ever feel

Just like a song

That you really can't stand

But it sticks with you all day long

It happens every day

You can't run away

You can't lose these walking blues

Cause they fit you like a pair of shoes

CHORUS
