For The Time Being
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.
It must be nice to be full of good advice to say
It must be sweet, but I'll call you if I need it
I'm doing alright for the time
Fine for the time being
I'll need professional help if it does get any worse than this
I'll be out on a ledge if it does get any worse than this
I'm doing alright for the time
Fine for the time being
You think you know me well
You think you know me well
But you don't know me at all
It must be fine to think everyone is down the dirt
It must be nice but I don't you need you to ask for her
I'm doing alright for the time
Fine for the time being
I'm doing alright for the time
Fine for the time being
You think you know me well
You think you know me well
But you don't know me at all
Oh you don't know me at all
You don't know me like I know, like I know myself
You don't know me like I know, like I know myself
