Composition[]
Singer-songwriter Jennifer Marks wrote the following about the song:[1]
- "I was having one of those days. Everything that could go wrong was going wrong and then to top it off my laptop drank a latte. As I heard the circuits short, my heart stopped beating and a lump started forming in my throat. I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and took my computer to see if I could get it fixed. They told me it would cost almost $2000 which basically meant I needed to buy a new laptop and that I lost about 3 weeks' worth of work (I am a bad backer-upper). I went home, got into sweats, grabbed my guitar, turned on the TV, and decided that I was just going to sit on the couch and cry for the rest of the day. I started playing and next thing I knew I was smiling. I am usually sort of cynical but in that moment I turned it around and decided to laugh at my horror instead of drowned in it."

Movie Version[]
Woke up this morning on the
Wrong side of the bed
I should have stayed in dreamland where
Warm and fuzzy thoughts filled my head
My breakfast of champions is a
Cold pizza and a cold cup of coffee
There's hardly time to shower
I'm late for school
There are so many rules
You know they drive me crazy
But it won't change me
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I die
I'm gonna live like I've got money
Falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live, listen
The best is gonna happen
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Reality check: I bit off more than I could chew
Yeah, I tried to do without you
But now I see,
Without my friends, we'll never make it through!
Hello to now, why don't you
Stay for a while?
Kick-off your shoes 'cause
I'm not gonna sing the blues, yeah
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I die
I'm gonna live like I've got money
Falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live, listen
The best is gonna happen
I'm gonna keep on laughing
Know the best is gonna happen
The best, the best is yet to come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I die
I'm gonna live like I've got money
Falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live, listen the best is gonna happen
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I die
I'm gonna live like I've got money
Falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live, listen
The best is gonna happen
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
