Do It All The Time

Beating my head against the wall
Has worked so many times before
Pacing up and down the hall
Slamming every single door
And now for the love of God
Stay down for the count
Chill out, shut your mouth and let
Someone else blurt it out

I've got a million things to say
While the right moments just slip away
And I've been wasting my time
Trying to get it to rhyme
It's no big deal you know
I do it all the time

Wondering whether words will
Waste my worthless breath
Will misery weaken in
Whiskey and cigarettes
Can you remember anything or
Was it all such a bore
Too smart to get lost at sea
Too stupid to find the shore

If you know the way then
Give me a sign
Call out my name
Or throw me a line
Did you see me drowning
Well, I was doing just fine
It's no big deal you know
I do it all the time

Not asking for much
I'm not asking for much at all
Just a little faith and trust
And a net for when I fall
Here's what I'm trying to be
And here's what I need from you
Focus on the problem here
Not the sound of the other shoe

If you've got something
That you want to say
It had better be here
To my face
If you think I'll just sit here
And read your mind
It's no big deal you know
I do it all the time
