Lyric of the Week: Better Than Nothing (Jennifer Trynin)

Lyric of the WeekI discovered the music of Jennifer Trynin after Aimee Mann did some backing vocals on one of her songs, “Snow.” “Better Than Nothing” got a lot of airplay on MTV’s “120 Minutes” and was her one big hit, but you should do yourself a favor and check out the rest of her catalog.

Enjoy Better Than Nothing by Jennifer Trynin (from 1994’s Cockamamie).

Maybe we could talk in the shower
I’ll bet we’d be gone in an hour
Maybe we could leave all this behind
Or we could just stay home

Maybe we could pool all our money
Maybe head out west to the country
It’d be just like here but we’d be there
Or we could just stay home

It’s better than nothing
It’s better than nothing
I’m feeling good, I’m feeling good
I’m feeling good for now
Good, I’m feeling good, I’m feeling good
I’m feeling good for now
But I know that by tomorrow I’ll probably come around

Maybe we could stay out all night
Two shots of whiskey and have a good fight
Finally figure out who’s really right
I think I’ll just stay home

For now, things don’t seem so bad
I don’t wanna know if I will sink or swim my way to shore
