You used to write my name on the back of your notebook
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars
But lately it would appear that you found yourself
A black magic marker just to make absolutely sure
That no one ever thought that you'd take it that far

It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well here we go again now, here we go again now

You used to write me those funny little letters
In a language ours and ours alone
I gave my 'Catcher in the Rye' for your 'Cat's Cradle'
And I gave my 'White' for your 'Abby Road'

It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well, here we go again now, here we go again now

Truck tires, trash fires face first, through the wire
Adios, Au Revoir, I see now what I never saw
No more bad knees, post cards and picture frames
Adios, Au Revoir, I see now that I never saw

It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days, yeah
