Intro: There's somethings you never get over Whatever your parents say First on my list of these three things Is the sight of my father walking away Next on my list would be heaven I already know what it's like Cause I fell in love when I was 16 with the absolute love of my life Last on my list would be losing But someone always needs to win And thumbing your nose at the boss I suppose just feels like a beautiful thing And it's something that nobody tells you You figure it out if you can Well there's one thing on earth that no one can touch It's the sleep of a satisfied man Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man And I don't know why I love the leaving But it's not from lack of loving you You can't remember when you stopped breathing and I can't remember it too But I'm coming home tomorrow And I wanted you to know That the part of me that can make you smile is the same part that needed to go And it's something that nobody tells you You figure it out if you can Well they can't interfere or get inside here It's the sleep of a satisfied man Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man Of all the things I've had to learn One won't quit No matter how I try One won't quit It's all that I can stand One won't quit I'll never learn to say goodbye But I hope for your sake that you can And on April 2nd the birth of my heart The day that the zombie awoke with a start When I fell for Button and she fell for me Back in the spring of 1993 January 7th 2005 the birth of my blood came fully to life When I see St. Peter and ask for my wings Just leave me that memory and the joy that it brings It's something that nobody tells you You figure it out if you can It's the things that you never get over Build the character of a man And if heaven and family and children Are what's left of me when I die Then I hope for your sake that you're better than me at this learning to say goodbye Yeah if heaven and family and children Are what's left of the race that I ran Then I'll quietly slip to the slumbering peace of the sleep of a satisfied man Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man I'm satisfied Outro:
