[Intro Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, muted string noise, one or two subtle guitar-body slaps] [Verse 1 Close, nasal, almost conversational vocals. Let the last line land with a pause. ] They say a picture is worth a thousand words... but they also say don't believe everything you ever heard it's not ever as it seems focus on the details and all the little things but I'll tell you something that's true something that happens worldwide every 40 seconds that passes a human has taken there own life how can someone simply can if your asking these questions you will never understand [Pre-Chorus] But they know, i know when you say you won't be gone long They know, I know your never coming home [Chorus The big melodic hook. Strong, strained vocals and driving acoustic strums with crisp slaps.] Some people drink for the fun While others drink to numb whatever comes Some people wake up with smiles and grins While others are tired before the day begins Some people pray out a Christmas list while others ask why the hell they even exist If you’ve never experienced this once Consider yourself... one of the lucky ones [Verse 2 Pull back to the guitar and voice, then gradually build again.] A wise man once said it does not matter the amount of time you have in this life but what you do with that time you are alive every road you go down can be a lesson learned but some can take every path to eventually reach the point of no return they will agree so you know that I'm not wrong you stand in the middle of time square... and still feel all alone [Pre-Chorus] But they know, i know when you say you won't be gone long They know, I know your never coming home [ChorusMost emotionally intense vocal performance, with bigger acoustic strums but no rock-band explosion.] Some people drink for the fun While others drink to numb whatever comes Some people wake up with smiles and grins While others are tired before the day begins Some people pray out a Christmas list while others ask why the hell they exist If you’ve never experienced this once Consider yourself... one of the lucky ones [Outro Nearly silent guitar, fragile whispers, and a final pause after “you are… one of the lucky ones.”] it's not as simple as being sad not just a good day gone bad we will never be alright but I'm glad... you will never feel what it's like you are... one of the the lucky ones
