If I were a bit braver I'd pretend I was jumping when actually falling And go to the bathroom at night, strolling. And in that nice diary I'm afraid to start writing I'd use a pen even when crying. I would pack no sweaters for a summer vacation And in the winter only one...or three for any situation. And instead of "I'm fine" I'd answer: "I wish I'd get a sign" That everything would be all right And I would someday finally feel light. I would use staplers instead of clips And teach myself to do front and back flips. I would take a step and never look back And live my life off of a sack. If I were a bit braver I would go climb a tree And actually do something after counting to three.
