Thumb Lyrics

[Chorus]
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine

Getting up most every day

[Verse 1]
Stepping out, I tried to fix it
Pulled a thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients, I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal

[Chorus]
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

[Verse 2]
An excuse is all you're in for
The abuse is all you crave
Sure you know just what is in store
Wait and see if I'll behave


[Chorus]
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day
[Verse 3]
There's a time, just let me know now
When it's with you I'll be glad
That I was right there just to show you
At least it's more than what you had

[Outro]
There never really is a good time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This song’s lethargic pace matches the lyrical theme of depressed people who appear to be stuck in a codependent relationship that is going nowhere yet difficult to leave.
