Suppose I said I am on my best behavior
And there are times I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when Im not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
Suppose I said Colors change for no good reason
And words will go From poetry to prose
Would you want me when Im not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
And i, in time, will come around
I always do for you
Suppose I said you’re my saving grace
Would you want me when I’m not myself?
Wait it out while I’m someone else?

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it’s taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it’s taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair
And now i’m walking in the park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me
Oh it’s taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unsteady
Oh i’m never really ready, yeah, oh, i’m never really ready
I’m in repair, i’m not together but i’m getting there
“The little car started to go faster and faster as Milo’s brain whirled with activity, and down the road they went. In a few moments they were out of the Doldrums and back on the main highway. All the colors had returned to their original brightness, and as they raced along the road Milo continued to think of all sorts of things; of the many detours and wrong turns that were so easy to take, of how fine it was to be moving along, and most of all, of how much could be accomplished with just a little thought. And the dog, his nose in the wind, just sat back, watchfully ticking.”

Wait, did you borrow that? I just yelled at one of my former students for losing it.
