so much to do to set my heart right.

[pinkoclock]

sometimes, no matter how much you want to say it yourself, you just have to rely on other people to say it for you.



too many shadows in my room;
too many hours in this midnight.
too many corners in my mind;
so much to do to set my heart right.

oh, it's taking too long ...
i could be wrong,
i could be ready.
oh, but if I take my heart's advice,
i should assume it's still unsteady.
i am in repair;
i am in repair.

stood on the corner for awhile,
to wait for the wind to blow down on me.
hope that it takes with it my old ways,
and breathes some brand-new luck upon me.

oh, it's taking too long;
i could be wrong,
i could be ready.
oh, but if i take my heart's advice,
i should assume it's still unsteady.
i am in repair;
i am in repair

now, i'm walking in the park--
all of the birds, they dance below me.
maybe when things turn green again,
it will be good to say you know me.

oh, it's taking too long ...
i could be wrong;
i could be ready.
oh, but if i take my heart's advice,
i should assume it's still unsteady
(never really ready).
i'm never really ready ...

i'm in repair;
i'm not together,
but im getting there.
