Something Left Undone
It must've been there
Before i was born
For as long as i remember
Forever, i think
And by it i mean
There was this longing feeling
Permeating everything everywhere
Something left undone, unsorted
And it was just beyond my grasp
So close but impossible to reach
So close that it begged to be chased
Again & again
If i could just have
This one thing
Life could be full, connected
Things could make sense
And so i ran at the impossibility
What would you have done?
I ran fast and hard
Like my life depended on it
But did i ever catch any thing?
You see, living in this story
Impossible by design
Was terrible
But, you know, it came naturally
What would i be without missing something?
And how could it be wrong if it were true?
And even if it didn't start out that way
Love became the impossibility
And happiness
And even art and music
And i told myself
If i could just make
One truly beautiful thing
Then maybe everyone would understand
And maybe everyone would see
And i made that beautiful thing
Again & again
And years later i found myself here
So tired of making beautiful things
Before i was born
For as long as i remember
Forever, i think
And by it i mean
There was this longing feeling
Permeating everything everywhere
Something left undone, unsorted
And it was just beyond my grasp
So close but impossible to reach
So close that it begged to be chased
Again & again
If i could just have
This one thing
Life could be full, connected
Things could make sense
And so i ran at the impossibility
What would you have done?
I ran fast and hard
Like my life depended on it
But did i ever catch any thing?
You see, living in this story
Impossible by design
Was terrible
But, you know, it came naturally
What would i be without missing something?
And how could it be wrong if it were true?
And even if it didn't start out that way
Love became the impossibility
And happiness
And even art and music
And i told myself
If i could just make
One truly beautiful thing
Then maybe everyone would understand
And maybe everyone would see
And i made that beautiful thing
Again & again
And years later i found myself here
So tired of making beautiful things
