I Tend To Digress

Is there really someone out there cooking all of this up, he needs it hot He's not trying to find me in a microscope But I'm not trying to cope with the idea He says, "Nope", when his friends ask him If he thinks I'm really looking up from way down here Is there really someone down there trying to hold on to a world? He'll never see me writing notes, or knocking planets over with my pen In this moment I stay still, I feel I should try to disturb nothing But I tend to digress from time to time Back here in the headlights I compare and I contrast It's fair to say sometimes I make things last longer than they want to last Fall when I was younger Or next spring when I'll be singing songs about now Wondering just how I got from there to here Or the other way around Am I just a proper noun? I tend to digress from time to time Yeah, I tend to digress from time to time Is it time to start over again? Oh time, is it time to start over again? But I want meaning I want reason It's not enough to have a pleasing morning Listening to birds sing songs about getting their money's worth Or the earth beneath the cement Beneath the chair I'm sitting in Under the roof over my head Under a sky that's turning red Under the stars, begin to shine As I become unstuck in time Waking up in strange places Chasing good conversations with my friends Where'd my mind go? With my friends What do I know? I tend to digress from time to time --- I Tend To Digress - Jack Johnson
