lyrics

In my first apartment the pipes were very old
the faucet always leaking, water always cold
when anyone came over they said fix the problem now
call the plumber now or you'll regret it all somehow
but i continued to ignore all their supposed expertise
until my furniture was floating in a pond up to my knees
an apartment like a kiddy-pool just isn't all that fun
and i knew i'd gotten in this mess because i am the one

who's always saying it's alright it's no big deal
the world is dew and daisies and i have no doubt
in my first class talent to ignore
because i always seem to make a molehill out of a mountain

last spring we took a road trip through new mexico
and suddenly discovered that our fuel was running low
my passengers looked nervous but i told them we had time
we're just miles out of town and we will all get there just fine
they told me to pull over they said don't take the chance
but i just kept on driving without another glance
and when the engine sputtered eyes were rolled and sighs were sighed
after five hours hiking through the desert with a gas can i regretted

saying it's alright it's no big deal
the world is dew and daisies and i have no doubt
in my first class talent to ignore
because i always seem to make a molehill out of a mountain

and we all are ostriches sometimes
such a hassle to change your plans
and we all try so hard to believe
that you can't die with your head in the sand

alright it's no big deal, the world is dew and daisies
and candies and sunshine
and it's alright it's no big deal
the world is only good rhymes and good dreams and good times
and i will not believe you when you say that it can't always be this way

so you really cannot blame me for all my present sins
it's just the way i function the way i've always been
you tell me we're on eggshells you say the ice is getting thin
you tell me we're in trouble but i just can't begin
to fathom all the loneliness to fathom all the pain
our love was once so strong and it'll always stay the same
so when you look me in the eye and i see nothing there
i paste a picture in my mind that proves to me we care

about each other, and it's no big deal
the world is dew and daisies and i have no doubt that
when you get up and walk out that door
i'll find a way to make a molehill out of a mountain.
