Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a writer
Not necessarily a poet
The forecast is unclear
Clouds thinking about what they’ll do
It may or may not rain
So just relax
Give me time
As I shape these lines for you
[Chorus]
This piece is to be judged
Its worth unknown
I cannot say if I will win
So let me cast my hopes
An arm’s length out
Like paper boats on a kitchen sink
Watch them spin
Watch them sink
Watch them swim
I’m still sending them
[Verse 2]
The cursor blinks
A tiny dare
Coffee cooling by my hand
Breath caught somewhere between words
Every sentence feels
Like stepping on thin ice
Listening for cracks
Trusting it holds a little longer
[Chorus]
This piece is to be judged
Its worth unknown
I cannot say if I will win
So let me cast my hopes
An arm’s length out
Like paper boats on a kitchen sink
Watch them spin
Watch them sink
Watch them swim
I’m still sending them
