I will make my way to the city
And sit and watch all the smart and pretty
Little people live their more-than-normal lives
And I will sit and talk to a stranger
About the terrible and towering danger
That is talking to somebody that you do not know
There are things that I still need to do; I will not go
I will ride my bike to the forest
And sit and smell and touch all the purest
Forms of spring and summer, fall;
The toasted leaves falling down
And I will go up north for Christmas
With someone I love who loves me; it'll be just us
We'll sit and hold hands, watch the new fallen snow
There are things that I still need to do; I will not go
I'm in a love hate relationship with my life
I need to forget what is wrong with it
Remember what is right
I will teach a kid how to play guitar
And let him rest his fingers when it gets hard
And maybe I will have passed on something of worth
I will jump in a car with some friends of mine
We'll tell jokes, laugh, sing songs, and pass the time
Just all of us, some playlists, and the open road
There are things that I still need to do; I will not go
I will finally learn how to love myself
I can't do everything, but some things I do well
Someday I'll realize that there's a reason I'm here
And I will finish things I never thought I could
Like write a novel, sew, just add something good
To this world that needs a bit of beauty and hope
There are things that I still need to do; I will not go
I'm in a love hate relationship with my life
I need to forget what is wrong with it
Remember what is right
We've got some things we still need to do; this world needs us alive
We're going to make it through all of this
We're going to be all right
We're gonna be all right
