You're the personification of a melody A good one too The kind that gets stuck in my head so often that I don't know what to do But the lyrics that you represent they help me carry on So I don't mind You're the envisionment of a fairytale The kind that makes me cry And even though I think I'm too old for a children's book I get swept up in the plot line But you bring me back to old memories of timeless afternoons So I don't mind I don't mind all the trials and tribulations I don't mind feeling hopeless for a while I don't mind understanding that I won't have consolation Because sometimes a good reason's hard to find You're like a dreamer's conversation That goes late into the night Even though I've got work in the morning I'm hypnotized by the moonlight But your drunken words of encouragement gave me reasons to be alive So I don't mind You're like my great grandmother's funeral The way it ripped my family apart And they tried so desperately to pick up the pieces but they didn't know quite where to start But buried deep underneath all the sadness rose a peace in all their hearts So I don't mind I don't mind all the lack of rhyme or reason I don't mind all these lazy afternoons I don't mind understanding that my life may have its seasons But I hope my spring is coming soon I don't mind analyzing details carefully Even though the main idea's in my face I don't mind understanding that I won't have understanding And sometimes I'm put back in my place I don't mind this profession of uncertainty I don't mind all the stumbles and the falls I don't mind understanding that this shit won't be so easy But chasing a dream is worth it all So I don't mind
