This isn't turning out the way I planned
You know I had it all set up in my head
Yeah, I did it again

I open my mind to write a song
And expect the whole world to know how to sing along
Oh, But it doesn't work that way

I'm sad today, I don't know why
I have a million reasons
I guess I'll just pick one to try
Maybe it'll fit
Or maybe it'll Slip
                          Right
                                Off.

My life is this winding river
It never stops flowing, never quits moving
Even though sometimes
I just want a break

Sixteen hours of sleep
That's what the lucky people have
I'm glad if I can somehow manage a wink
Or two.

I thought maybe I could sleep my way
Through the night
But I guess I wasn't right
No.
I was wrong again.
Go figure.

Go figure.
Oh, it's not a shock.
Go figure.
Don't even act surprised.
Go figure.
I'll force myself not to cry.
Go figure.

the idiomatic phrase is an intriguing step into the mind of pen and paper!

a poem is like an echo...go figure...go figure...the sound keeps coming back and then there is quiet...its as tho we are lost in a wilderness and the echo only leads me deeper into the dark woods. i need another poem...a compass if you will!...i am searching for a direction. somewhere, there is pen and paper...and an echo!
