Entry 40--AKA: "Ben Folds has got my number lately."

“Learn to Live with what you Are” by Ben Folds

I know that you’re in there;

I can see you.

You’re saying you’re okay;

I don’t believe you.

And now that the gig is up,

the spell is broken,

the fat lady has sung

the president has spoken.

These days you were waiting for will come and go

like any day.

Just another day.

There’s never going to be a moment of truth

for you

while the world is watching.

All you need is a thing you’ve forgotten

that’s to learn to live with what you are.

So freak out if you wanna

I’ll still be here.

Don’t call me for years and when you do

yeah I’ll still be here.

I’m not saying the effort is a waste of time but I

just love you for the things you couldn’t change

though you’ve tried.

These hours of confusion will soon expire

like everything

does.

There’s never going to be a moment of truth

for you

while the world is watching.

All you need is a thing you’ve forgotten

that’s to learn to live with what you are.

Sometimes

everything you’ve wanted floats above

sticking out it’s tongue and laughing while…

everything anyone could ever need

is down below waiting for you to notice.

There’s never going to be a moment of truth

for you

while the world is watching.

All you need is a thing you’ve forgotten

that’s to learn to live with what you are.

You’ve got to learn to live with what you are.

You’ve got to learn to live with

what you

are.
