about

As the proud author of two incomplete novels, this song delves into the mindset of the unpublished author. Three minute songs are way easier to complete than novels.

lyrics

AT SOME POINT SHE’ll BREAK HIS HEART
I’LL HAVE HER LEAVE HIM NEAR THE TRAIN
TO PROVE HE’S TORN APART 
I’LL LEAVE HIM STANDING IN THE RAIN

THIS PACE IS MUCH TOO SLOW
I NEED TO MOVE THE PLOT ALONG
THEY SAY TO WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW
WHAT A NOVEL IDEA

NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED
BUT HAS WRITING EVER BEEN SO STRAINED

IEIOIA THERE ARE NO MORE WORDS TO SAY
IEIOIA I GUESS I’LL WRITE THEM ANYWAY

ANOTHER HOUR GOES BY
AND MY FINGERS START TO ACHE
IT SEEMS THE WELL’S RUN DRY
I THINK I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK

WELL THAT’S HOW IT GOES
THE PLOT HAS TOO MANY HOLES

IEIOIA

I’M NO STRANGER TO BEING OVERCOME BY DOUBT
A THOUSAND PAGES AND I’M STILL NOT SURE WHAT IT’S ABOUT
BUT I DRAG MYSELF BACK AND HAMMER A FEW MORE PAGES OUT

AND NOW IT’S WINDING DOWN
I ONLY NEED A LITTLE MORE
I THOUGHT I’D HAVE HIM DROWN
INSTEAD HE JUST OPENS A PET STORE
AND THOUGH IT’S UNLIKELY TO SELL 
AT LEAST MY GRAMMAR’S PRETTY WELL

IEIOIA
I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO SAY 
IEIOIA
IT DON’T MATTER ANYWAY 

IEIOIE
THERE ARE NO MORE WORDS TO SAY
IEIOIA

I GUESS I’LL WRITE THEM ANYWAY
