Lists Of Things

Lyrics:

The list of things I meant to do
Is hidden somewhere safe
In a drawer or in my shoe
Where I know it won’t escape.

The list of things I meant to be
In a box beside my bed
That I don’t open up to see.
I don’t want that in my head.

The list of things I meant to say
On the palm of my left hand
Is organized in such a way
As to make you understand.

I’m tired of making empty promises
And saying things that I don’t mean…
