[Verse 1] The coffee went cold on the windowsill There's a list on the fridge I should probably fill The neighbor's dog has opinions again And somebody parked where I always pretend That space belongs to me The morning news says the world's a mess My hair disagrees with the way I got dressed I missed one call, lost one shoe And somehow I've got nothing better to do Than smile at all of it [Refrain] Life looks good from here Not perfect, just surprisingly clear A little crooked, a little strange A few things lost, a few things changed But I wouldn't trade the view Life looks good from here I've spent enough time waiting for Everything to fall in line Maybe this is doing fine Maybe fine is beautiful too [Verse 2] I used to think I'd know by now Exactly where and why and how I'd have the answers neatly filed A flawless plan, a perfect life Instead I've got a kitchen chair With three clean shirts still hanging there A phone at nine percent again And people I would choose as friends If I could choose them twice [Refrain] Life looks good from here Not perfect, just surprisingly clear A little crooked, a little strange A few things lost, a few things changed But I wouldn't trade the view Life looks good from here I've spent enough time waiting for Everything to fall in line Maybe this is doing fine Maybe fine is beautiful too [Middle Eight] I don't need the clouds to leave To know there's blue behind them I don't need a grand design To love the place I'm standing Let tomorrow make its case I've got today in front of me And for once That's enough [Final Refrain] Life looks good from here Come a little closer, it's even better Nothing's straight and nothing's still But I've got time and I've got will And people worth holding near Life looks good from here No perfect ending anywhere Just open windows, changing skies A thousand ordinary lives And mine fits nicely here Yeah, mine fits nicely here [End]
