I got stuck in the middle of a paragraph
Broke my pen in the nick of time
I don't know if I'd be here right now
If I'd finished that fatal line

That's no jive
Brother I swear I'm happy to be alive
And I'll never speak of suicide
If everything works out this time

I got stuck in the middle of a sentence
I couldn't find the right words to say
Better still, 'cause there's no forgiveness
You come back again with some heavy debts to pay

That's okay
Cause brother I'm starting to see some things your way
So I'll put it off another day
I didn't want to anyway

I got stuck in the middle of a paragraph
Broke my pen in the nick of time
I don't know if I'd be here right now
If I'd finished that fatal line
