Pulling it together
on the far side of forever.
Set out to answer my questions.
Bought and sold my apprehensions.
You would think by now
that I had probably learned my lesson,
but I’m hardheaded.
So hardheaded.
Came down from the rafters.
You talked me down after
each and every disaster,
once I got my final answer.
You say it wouldn’t
hurt so much
if I could just get to it faster,
but I’m hardheaded.
So hardheaded.
I thought by now you’d give up.
All the stupid stuff
that I have done enough
to make your life so rough.
You tell me
if life gets harder,
then you better be tough.
You’re hardheaded.
So hardheaded.
