story behind the song: a blend of "something about mary" mixed with tales of blind dates, weekenders, one night stands where one party fell in love and the other one didn't etc. etc. and of course ye olde happy hour (though not sure where one might be found these days lol)
Lyrics
and today is monday
don't know where she is
wishing it was truly friday
happy hour, more or less
enough of the sad stories
her reasons to depart
don't need the byline glory
of how true love can fall apart
still today is monday
knowing its still too far
to make it through 'til friday
happy hour at the bar
stayed long enough to be boring
the half truths had to start
so much hurt and so much lonely
destination broken heart
love ain't blind sad to tell ya
sometimes it can't see in the dark
when she tells ya that she loves ya
and then finds out who you are
yeah tonight is still monday
dreams falling like the stars
don't care that it's not friday
its always happy hour at my bar
and there's no sense denying i need her
and there's no sense denying that i love her
