From Wishing

From wishing I was somewhere other than where I should be I've learnt to value poetry over punctuality And the glaze in my eyes well it's daily applied from a fog bank that follows me Been living on the downtime, living on the cheap And if you try to sell me things I'll say they're not for me For the luxury wares they can never compare With the reverie I'm getting free You're never gonna guess how I got into this mess You're never gonna guess how I got into this... Some people have a calling and some others drift along While either one's as likely to say, hey you've got it wrong Neither one's satisfied when the answer they find Is the one they had all along You're never gonna guess how I got into this mess... And they will tell you... Here & now is a present you should buy But it won't be for lack of trying So caught up in the wherefores and the whys That even sometime passes me by Here & now will be wasted on you all, and I reply...
