[Intro]
There was a rumor, about the end of the world
Started by a man with a sign or maybe was a girl
I went for a walk, under the May sunshine
Like it was my last time
Past the cathedral, to the little league diamond

[Verse 1]
I could build Pink Floyd Walls on all sides of my room
And pray that said rumor would be true
That Jesus comes on his white horse, and the world goes kaboom
But seeing the glass half full, I said, hey
God blessed me with another sunny day
A walk in the suburbs would give a stubborn soul like mine a reason to stay

[Chorus]
Waiting for the next surprise
To cut me low or hit me high
No matter what the box's size
They say that life's a prize
Making funny faces at passing cars
Hoping to make new friends
No matter how the message sends
It still reads "love" in the end

[Verse 2]
In a town that seems
Like the middle of nowhere
You turn into somewhere, when you call it home
In a life that seems, like it stays the same
You cry when it changes, before you start calling it home
Dark days hide in the crevice
Be sure to kick, before it grabs you by the ankle (No need to carry crosses, light up the candle)
Just say a prayer that tomorrow, is a sunny day
When the kids comes out and play
(Past the cathedral, to the little league diamond)
Blow the candle out, you’ll be fine

[Chorus]
Waiting for the next surprise
To cut me low or hit me high
No matter what the box's size
They say that life's a prize
Making funny faces at passing cars
Hoping to make new friends
No matter how the message sends
It still reads "love" in the end
I said life's a prize, uh, surprise rather
No matter how the message sends
It still reads "love" in the end
