better with practice

I got a lot of clutter at my place,
most of it I should prob’ly throw away,
I always say I’ll clean it up some day,
but I get distracted..
and there’s a lot of clutter in my mind,
songs I should finish if I find the time,
I’m always searching for the perfect rhyme,
but that’s overrated..where was I? oh, yeah, I love you,
and I’ll get better with practice, (watch me),
you may say, “what the..”, “as if we..”,
but I think we get better with practice, (I know I do..)
so I’m a sucker for the saddest eyes (yours would qualify),
I don’t see a target, so I’m aiming high, (besides)
kindness is not a consolation prize,
she’s a smiling stranger..where was I? oh, yeah, I love you,
and I’ll get better with practice, (watch me),
you may say, “what the..”, “as if we..”,
but I think we’ll get better with practice, (I know, I will..)so you see, whichever way it goes,
since no one really knows, I just watch the road,
and it’s true, whichever way you choose, I can’t really lose,
‘cause I can use.. the material..
‘cause I got 7 stories left to tell,
so I’ll keep swinging till the final bell,
and you won’t catch me throwing in the towel,
‘cause this ride’s too lovely..where was I? oh, yeah, I love you,
and I’ll get better with practice, (watch me),
you may say, “what the..”, “as if we..”,
but I think we’ll get better with practice, (I will..)where was I? (oh, yeah, I love you),
and I’ll get better with practice, (watch me),
you may say, “what the..”, “as if we..”,
but I think we’ll get better with practice,
I will, watch me.. I know I do.. I will, watch me…
