I want to get there
if only I knew where there was
A time machine
or some entry door dream
to do what ever it does

I want to get there
if someone could please tell me how
a right or a left to
head east or go west yes
I'm sure I could go there right now

I want to get there
so I won't imagine what it's like
to see a fool on a bike
ride round the world twice
but not as fast as the elephant on the trike

another day I couldn't make up my
well
anything
couldn't make up my bed
and I couldn't wake up my head
couldn't summon the dead
and then I couldn't unlock the tools from the shed

couldn't break up the day
couldn't just walk away
couldn't know what to say
couldn't bow or kneel or pray

ttttthhhhhhhheeeeeeennnnnnn

spilled the food
dropped a plate
stubbed my toe
walked in late
forgot my shoes
tripped on a rock
had to walk an extra block
lost my cool
talked too much
acted crude
didn't sing enough
made you mad
thought you
'd cry
like nothing
I said
could come out right
saw a girl
saw a boy
who felt the rain
witnessed love
walked about
apologized
saw a different depth
in your eyes

on the day I couldn't make up my

well


anything

driving around
looking
for things to drive
things that accelerate
can't help but feel
that I'm being taken for
a ride anyhow
circling around
taking pity on the sad shapes in town
on all the leaves that are brown
and the judgement made
on those who may be looking down

though the sky is not grey
and the humidity brings the green
or how you payed her boyfriend
to push mow because I pretended
I didn't have time
ain't that all ways the case?

Sensing I do not have much time
or power over the line
I just want to walk
to get where I am
in the end I am still determined
with hopes of being met with gratitude

Who can say?

I will let her know when I leave
sweet sad songs I want to sing
bad timing is just one of the things that
I seem
to be so good at
Yes
I know when to leave but it's
when to stay I want to find out
how to heal and how not to rush
to give things away and to not take too much
I guess it's just a way of feeling because
it's all of those feelings I tend to miss too much
