lyrics

I woke up at seven and
Waited 'till eleven
Just waiting for my body to
Even have the energy to
Roll out of bed

And I sat there thinking about
How my world came down
So suddenly

A hole opened up and I never saw it coming
Rubble crushing dreams I never knew I never needed
And a door in my face saying this is my place
No going back

So
Knock on wood because you’re getting something good
And you never know when the balance will finally tip over so
Knock on wood
Because you can and always should
Keep an even scale
Even when you prevail keep knocking on wood

Not to be pessimistic
But things can always twist in poor favor
It’s the good times you have to savor

But you can’t bathe in glory for too long
You need a reminder to keep on the ground where you belong

So
Knock on wood because you’re getting something good
And you never know when the balance will finally tip over so
Knock on wood
Because you can and always should
Keep an even scale
Even when you prevail keep knocking on wood

Time can be tragic
And life will always pass you
But stay with the feeling
Don’t stop believing that it’ll work soon
Just keep a level head
For the shaking road that lies in ahead
And keep your knuckles tapping when you’re too far ahead

Knock on wood
Prepare for something good

(It’s been a hell of a year oh
It’s been a hell of a year oh
It’s been a hell of a year oh oooo)

(Seventeen please be good to me
Please be better than all the rest
And if you can’t I’ll just wait for Eighteen)

Knock on wood because you’re getting something good

Seventeen you’ve been good to me
But I think Eighteen's going pretty swell
