Lyrics:
The lane next over is always faster,
And you wait so long until you’re so bothered.
But right after you complete your merge,
The lane you started in gets going.
And while you wait for your luck to change,
All you can think of is where you started.

You don’t like anything on Local Radio,
So you fumble around ’till you land on NPR,
And listen to World News.

Well a bomb went off in the parking lot,
Of a newly opened Sunni Marketplace.
A cloud covers your car at just the right time,
For you to see the dark on your face, in the mirror.

Your phone goes off with a picture of your Mother.
It’s five to six and she can’t find your brother.
And while normally you’d yell and scream,
Instructing her to go and find him on her own.
But calmly you’re exiting and telling her,
That you are headed on your way home.
She does not know what to say,
Just glad you’re on your way.
You turn off your phone, in a different tone,
As you think, the bad feeling so bad makes the good so good.
