about

an attempt to play clarinet.

lyrics

so i can't play the clarinet
even though my sixth grade band teacher told me i was born to do so
i think she saw it in my name
and i just had to roll my eyes and pretend this instrument
didn't make me cry

i'm prone to giving up
i abandon ship before it's even sinking
just to save myself the stress
it's safe inside my bed
and somedays i wish i could melt into the sheets
just so i don't have to ever leave the nest

and i'm no good at math
and i might just die from panic if i ever have to work with numbers
so lots of things are lost on me
i could have studied biology and then my degree
wouldn't feel like paper

i'm prone to giving up
i abandon ship before it's even sinking
just to save myself the stress
it's safe inside my bed
and somedays i wish i could melt into the sheets
just so i don't have to ever leave the nest
