Thereabouts

Lyrics

Perfect I know it's not Falls short Of the great heights It comes As a small shock To learn I've done alright I know it's not much But it might be enough It's thereabouts Give or take Don't ask me how It doesn't break It's not the best I'm afraid Still at its worst It's OK Perhaps It's a different place Than what I had in mind Perhaps It's not what you seek Instead It's what you find I know it's not much But it might be enough It's thereabouts Give or take Don't ask me how It doesn't break It's not the best I'm afraid Still at its worst It's OK This to-do list Has got out of hand I'm running late I'm not thinking straight There goes the plan I sometimes need A little more Perspective To help accept That I am not Superman I'm lucky I guess A sad happiness It's thereabouts Give or take Don't ask me how It doesn't break It's not the best I'm afraid Still at its worst It's OK But You know what I'm OK

Description

Short Song Description: It's about accepting the imperfect and that not everything goes to plan.

Long Song Description: It chronicles the surprise realisation that you are in a good place, despite not everything being exactly as you had hoped.

Story Behind the Song: I originally sought to write an ode to (my own) mediocrity, but in the process realised that I've achieved things and I shouldn't dwell on the unrealised aspirations.
