I wish I was writing today
Songs or stories, doesn't matter, I'm good either way
Got myself to work, and now I just want to play
I wish I was writing today
I wish I was writing today
Sit down at my keyboard, and tap the hours away
It's the perfect weather, sleepy sky is fuckin' gray
I wish I was writing today
When I go to work I get a feeling
My creativity those hours are stealing
But somehow when I go back home
The motivation's always gone…
I don't write, I stare up at the ceiling
I wish I was writing today
Said yes to this date, now I don't know what to say
Maybe I can put this in a novel or a play
I wish I was writing today
I wish I was writing tonight
Seems like everything's in place, conditions should be right
But I touched the page, and the words like birds took flight
I wish I was writing tonight
Sometimes I have got a sinking feeling
It's 'cause of me my talent's always fleeting
Cause by the time that I get home
The motivation's always gone
I don't write, I stare up at the ceiling
