lyrics

What's the kind of thing that I would sing if I had to sing something?
What's the kind of notes that I would play?
What's the kind of thing that I would say if I had to say something?
What's the kind of thought that I'd convey?

If I try for a little while then maybe
something semi-worthwhile will tumble out lamely.

What's the kind of thoughts that I would think if I could think something?
What's the kind of thing that comes to mind?
The only things I've got are all these feels I'm constantly feeling.
Yeah, I feel them all the time.

If I give it a little try then maybe
something not horrifying will come.
If I try for a little while then maybe
something semi-worthwhile will tumble out lamely.
