Just Right

Somewhere real far away

A dad is showing his son

How to catch a popped fly

As it falls from the sky

How to hit a home run

From their house comes a mom with some PB&Js

Plates of cookies and cups of iced tea

It's just one of those typical family clichés

But it never has happened to me

How I wish that that kid could be me

So I close my eyes and imagine

My life being more like his

'Cause when I close my eyes and imagine

I know what happiness is

I wave, say hello to the neighbors

'Cause mom says to be polite

And in that perfect moment

Everything feels just right

Yes, everything feels just right

Some kids want toys they can play with

Some kids want comics or games

Me, I just like when whole months go by

Where I'm not learning new people's names

Some kids get bikes and go riding

I'm not saying that wouldn't be fine

But I don't need the bike

'Cause what I'd really like

Is a life a little less like mine

And so I'll close my eyes and imagine

What else am I supposed to do

'Cause when I close my eyes and imagine

My dreams kinda come true

Don't know if there's anyone listening

But I'll wish once more tonight

That I won't be depending

On all this pretending

I'll have my happy ending

And everything finally will feel just right
