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
