    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written in about two hours. The intro and chord progression came out in about 5 minutes along with the basic vocal melody. After that it was just a matter of the lyrics. A few syllables sounded good together for the first line and the story just followed effortlessly: makin' out with the ex-girlfriend behind the new boyfriend's back, yet still feeling jealous of the putz. I tweaked a word here and there and I had a 4-minute tune about sex & love & jealousy. We're not re-creating the wheel here.

    Lyrics
    You're sad the weekend's over
    It's alright, I'll come over
    Night lights are nice at night
    I'll be yours if you want tonight

    Your naked body feels good next to mine
    Please let me know when you feel lonely Next time

    It ain't good, it ain't bad
    It's just the way it is
    I just wish that my life was his

    Came by to see what's up
    Time's OK but it screws things up
    I like how you've changed the place
    I different guy and a different pace

    The picture frames by your bed haven't changed
    It's just the pictures themselves that look strange

    It ain't goo, it ain't bad
    It's just the way it is
    I just wished that my life was his

    I should be leaving soon
    We had the night now it's almost noon
    So much room on your floor
    But that bed up there means so much more

    Your deep shag rug feels so nice on my face
    Maybe another night,
    I'll sleep in his place

    It ain't good, it ain't bad
    It's just the way it is
    I just wished that my life was his
