Live Music Makes All My Decisions

Picture me: I'm in the front at an arena show
 To see my favorite band
 The opening act's another punk band that I don't yet know
 And a break-up is weighing heavy on my mind
 I'm finally ready to forget this loser
 Though friends have told me to a thousand times
 Because if music didn't exist I'd be useless
 Too many days without a show I get directionless
 Because live music makes all my decisions
 I go in with no idea what I'm doing with my life
 I come out and I've got my whole future decided
 Because live music makes all my decisions
 And you think I'm kidding
 Picture me: come from the bar when the band starts to play
 Me and my friend who invited me
 Are the only people who came in and paid
 And I'm back and forth in my mind on whether I should take some risk
 The sad band on stage is beckoning me
 What are you waiting for? Just do it
 Because if music didn't exist I'd be useless
 Too many days without a show I get directionless
 Because live music makes all my decisions
 I go in with no idea what I'm doing with my life
 I come out and I've got my whole future decided
 Because live music makes all my decisions
 And you think I'm kidding
 But my friend, I'd never kid about music
 You might think I seem smart, but I'm quite stupid
 But for the wisdom in guitar tones and colorful lights
 Let's be clear: I could never learn to meditate
 Quiet my mind? What kind of crap is that?!
 But then I realized that when I'm here my mind is often silent
 Picture me: watching a lonely person strum a guitar
 There's no reason it should mean this much
 But I think it helps us all know who we are
 Out of everything, this is the single thing that I'd most miss
 I'm tired of wondering what to do with my life
 I think I'm gonna do this
