I would but I couldn't
I should but I wouldn't
I say I fail
and I know I will
I am a boat
That can never sail
Forever parked at the docks
With flocks of geese
S***ting on my head
But in my mind, in my mind
There is a hope
A hope that never dies
A promise of the future
A wish that grants itself
For now I am lost at sea
And I may not know how
But like all treasure, I will be found
