I'm playing scales When my fingers slip and fail To produce the desired sound They play a chord instead Beautiful but incorrect And that's how all these notes were found And though I'll smile And play this song for a while I'll play this moment on rewind 'Cause I don't know Where my life would go If I'd composed a different line The ups and downs Of this stumbled-upon sound Make my head begin to sway 'Cause luck's a maze A collection of mistakes We only think turned out okay And the best events And the worst to happen yet Are just a way to help us see The grueling feat Of finding agency In unpredictability 'Cause I don't know Where my life would go
