Song lyrics
[Verse 1]

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

One Republic gets it.
To grok.
A fearless and never faltering maximum joyful responsibility for whatever comes to life. Wherever it's your life, some other guy's life, life in general. It doesn;t matter. And we are all one.
Something like that.
Read stranger in a strange land from Robert Heinlein and grok.

One of those songs in an album which rises slowly. A really nice rhythmic song. Listen to the beats or the chorus or just sing along.

OneRepublic is bringing out great work and if they keep it this way, its gonna become a name to remember.
