Guess I’m Doing Fine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a bluebird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in Heaven
They don't look the same to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wade the tides that turned
'Til I learn to leave the past behind
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Got no time to watch them grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me
There's a bluebird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in Heaven
They don't look the same to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wade the tides that turned
'Til I learn to leave the past behind
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Got no time to watch them grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Bridge]
Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missing all this time
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Outro]
Guess I'm doing fine
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Bridge]
Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missing all this time
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Outro]
Guess I'm doing fine
About
Genius Annotation
The lyrics on Sea Change are direct, with none of the freewheeling word-association vibe of the music that made Beck famous. (The guess in Guess I’m Doing Fine sums about eleventy-nine kinds of resignation).
