lyrics

I’m sitting on the park side, waiting at the bus stop * Trying to make some loose change working at this small shop * Hoping that one day everything that had happened would all add up to something I wanted * Like a drug I wasn’t taking and this novel I was making * A few more days and it’ll be a story * Turn the pages * You’ll be sorry * And I just keep losing * But my life just keeps moving and these wrong directions seem to bring me closer to the greater things * Sitting on the park side writing down my deep thoughts * Fumbling on my word choice, stumbling on the main plot * Forgetting the bad things * Rain clouds can blow away * Sun can come out and musical notes will play * Like a drug I wasn’t taking and this novel I was making * A few more days and it’ll be a story * Turn the pages * You’ll be sorry * And I just keep losing * But my life just keeps moving and these wrong directions seem to bring me closer to the greater things * Falling faster in this hole I’ve dug myself * But when you fall you come back up and these coffee shop dreams will fill in the seams * And the rest will follow after * I’m sitting on the park side * Walking on the sidewalk * Wanting to turn ahead time and speed up the clock * They tell me to give up * But I’ll make it happen * If I fall down I’ll get back up laughing * Like a drug I wasn’t taking and this novel I was making * A few more days and it’ll be a story * Turn the pages * You’ll be sorry * And I just keep losing * But my life just keeps moving and these wrong directions seem to bring me closer to the greater things * And these wrong directions seem to bring me closer to the greater things * I’m sitting on the park side
