I’ve been trying to grow things

Not having too much luck

I planted a few seeds

But they needed more love

Than I could give them

I’m always away when the sun comes out

Swimming in lakes and sleeping in backyards

Not thinking about the impending drought

I’ve been trying to cut back

On my levels of excess

I’ve done a few good deeds

But they needed more strength

Than I could give them

I always run away when I get too far

When the backyard starts to rumble

I’ll be headed to the nearest bar

I’ve been trying to wake up

From this dream I had

I get so close to the border

And then I’m always running back

I’ve been trying to wake up

From this dream I had…
