You're Doing Great

You're Doing Great lyrics

Intro

Verse 1

Dana parks at the back of the lot.
Engine off. Twenty minutes. I counted.
She's got a list on the dashboard.
Names on a sticky note. Questions beside them.
How's your mom. Did you get the dog.
Then she checks her teeth in the mirror.
And walks in like she's been invited to everything.

Pre-Chorus

She laughs at the quarterly numbers.
She laughs at mine, and I'm not funny.

Chorus

You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
Frosting in your teeth and nobody knows.
You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
I'm the guy by the coats, telling nobody.

Verse 2

She remembers everybody's birthday.
Hers was a Tuesday. Nobody brought cake.
Sad sandwich, eaten over the sink.
The microwave beeped and she flinched.
She does the boss's voice. It's perfect.
Too perfect. Nobody practices that for fun.
I held leftover wine in a cracked mug.
I said, nice voice. That's all I had.

Pre-Chorus

She laughs at the quarterly numbers.
She laughs at mine, and I'm not funny.

Chorus

You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
Frosting in your teeth and nobody knows.
You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
I'm the guy by the coats, telling nobody.

Bridge

I made a list too, if you're wondering.
Reasons to tell her. Reasons not to.
The no column has a better font.
She goes in. I stay out here.
Parking lot, mostly. Row F, by the cart return.

Chorus

You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
She waves goodnight like it's easy, like it's fun.
You're doing great, you're doing great, honestly.
I'm the guy by the coats. Fuck. Okay. Yeah.

Outro

Engine off.
Stay in the car a minute.
You're doing great.
