Meaning To Write
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turn off the music I can't stand this Band
And I really should get something done today
Hey I've meaning to write you a postcard
But it's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard.
First thing tomorrow I give up these fags
Save all my money buy a brand new hat
Not to mention how life would be prolonged
But I'm not strong, I'm not strong, I'm not that strong.
Yesterday was the same as today
It's all a blur but still I do for charm
Although it's raining alot I force a smile
But meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile.
I wonder if the folks outside can see
Inside my place where I sit in the nude
But I'm not crazy, I'm a butterfly
I can fly, i can fly, i can fly.
