Decades

I wish I could solve my problems
With a quick punch to the face
If my fists could do the talking,
The world would be a far more interesting
And I wish that I could save people
With a cape strapped to my back
And I’d have super powers
And I work the oddest hours
And everybody would know my name

Cuz in my mind, in my head,
I’m the strongest person you’ve ever met
And there’s no way I can forget
Just how awesome I really am
Cuz in my mind, I’m fine
And everything I want to do I do
I’ve got nothing to prove

My future involves a little place
With a little cat with toys to chase
A metro pass to get to work
And a man who knows my worth
A capital E in the capital city
Where I can be as close to the Emily
In my head, as I can be possibly
The life that I want for me

And I will solve my problems with my words
Wear a suit, instead of a cape
I’ll work the oddest hours
With each pro bono case
Very few people will know my name
But that’s just fine, it’s okay
Cuz I’ll still save someone someday

Cuz in real life, outside my head,
I’m the strongest person you’ve ever met
And there’s no way I could ever forget
Just how awesome I really am
Cuz in my life, I’m fine
And I do what I want to do
I’ve got nothing to prove
