Lyrics
I Wrote A Novel
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.
I wrote a novel about it
Grammatically it's full of holes
My specialty has never been
Knowing where them commas go
I made a promise about it
You'd think by now i would have learned
That page and pen and good intent
Don't represent a corner turned
I should know better than i do
And i would if i could
If i had the will to want to
But i already know this well
And yet i remain it still
I'm so frightened of failure
That i'm scared to even begin
That ironies not lost on me
I just refuse to let it sink in
I'm a creature of habit
Cotton comfort sun and cold
Leave me outside when rivers high
Eventually i'll turn to stone
I should know better than i do
And i would if i could
If i had the will to want to
But i already know this well
And yet i remain it still
