Barton Hartshorn - From Wishing Lyrics

From wishing I was somewhere other than where I should be
I've learnt to value poetry over punctuality
And the glaze in my eyes well it's daily applied
From a fog bank that follows me

Been living on the downtime, living on the cheap
And if you try to sell me things I'll say they're not for me
For the luxury wares they can never compare
With the reverie I'm getting free

You're never gonna guess how I got into this mess
You're never gonna guess how I got into this...

Some people have a calling and some others drift along
While either one's as likely to say, hey you've got it wrong
Neither one's satisfied when the answer they find
Is the one they had all along

You're never gonna guess how I got into this mess...

And they will tell you...
Here & now is a present you should buy
But it won't be for lack of trying
So caught up in the wherefores and the whys
That even sometime passes me by
Here & now will be wasted on you all, and I reply...

From wishing I was somewhere other than where I should be
I've learnt to value poetry over punctuality
