Hung my head and found a way
To double down on yesterday
If I keep throwing words around
If I could just hold out
And run to ground
That most elusive of all men
The king of black eyed fools again
I've been indecisive, I've been unkind
Mercy me I think I've been so blind
Tell me just exactly
What's a man to do
What if there are fights
You're born to lose?
What if I could have done
It different from the start
But what's the point of"ifs"
They'll only tear you apart
Holding forth as if by this
Strength of belief I could dismiss
All opposition, all antipathy
But it begs the question, who are we?
And honestly I still don't know
Whether to stay or up and go
Apprehensive of what is required
And all of my days feeling so dog tired
Every now and then I catch a glimpse
Of the life that I could lead
And I'm convinced
That here to there
And there to here and back again
Would take more out of me
Than I have to spend
