lyrics

V:
I worked a job I hated,
And my respect dissipated,
Evaporating through my ears while I'd go about my day.
And my boss would see my sadness,
And he claimed it was bad for business,
So I'd go out to the alley and put that smile on my face...

C:
After the alley I'm a little bit brighter,
And my step feels a little bit lighter,
After the alley I'm a little bit nicer,
If you know what I mean...
And my heart feels a little bit stronger,
And my fuse gets a little bit longer,
And that bomb don't have to explode today...

V:
It used to help me stay together,
And each breath I took would lighten up my soul.
But then came along some stormy weather,
And I'm not so sure that I'm still in control...

C:
After the alley I'm a little bit brighter,
And my step feels a little bit lighter,
After the alley I'm a little bit nicer,
If you know what I mean...
And my heart feels a little bit stronger,
And my fuse gets a little bit longer,
And that bomb don't have to explode today...

BRIDGE::
Each day I'm walking through my imagination,
No longer sure what is real.
Surely it's better to deal with these emotions I feel?

<PIANO SOLO>

C:
After the alley I'm a little bit brighter,
And my step feels a little bit lighter,
After the alley I'm a little bit nicer,
If you know what I mean...
And my heart feels a little bit stronger,
And my fuse gets a little bit longer,
And that bomb don't have to explode today...

C:
After the alley I'm a little bit brighter,
And my step feels a little bit lighter,
After the alley I'm a little bit nicer,
If you know what I mean...
And my heart feels a little bit stronger,
And my fuse gets a little bit longer,
And that bomb don't have to explode today...
