Down to a T

Lyrics:
I go where I’m welcome
I leave when I’m not
I make up the words
if the words I forgot
Sometimes I’m shallow
and sometimes I care
if you don’t approve of the
things that I wear
But sometimes comes rarely
and most of the time
I spend it constructing
these phrases that rhyme
I wear red lipstick to bed
Spend my life trying to turn this world
on its head
I’m unabashed about the things I believe
Just think that this mind could act like a sieve
I’ve been real happy
I have no complaints
but don’t think I’ve, I’ve been a saint
I answer to no one but me
Got it down, got it down
to a T
(Bridge)
I like the autumn
count the leaves fast
I often find myself wishing it’d last
Hot apple cider
good movie too
I just wish that I could watch it with you
I’m just trying to find
my own peace of mind
If he gives me trouble
I’ll give him a piece of my mind
I’m not above wishing on dandelion spores
my greatest fear is that I’ll be a bore
Some folks fear darkness
and some fear the light
but I know I won’t give in
without a fight
I’m not getting into this race
I just hope that I won’t lose face.
