If I Ever Get Around To Living

If I ever get around to living
I'm gonna put my things away
In the drawers and in the closets
And there I'll stay

If I ever get around to living
It'll be just like I dreamed
I'm gonna take the love I'm given
And set it free

If I ever get around to living
I'll take the end of every day
Tie it up to every morning
And sail away

Free
Free
Free
Maybe it's all a dream
I'm having at 17
I don't have tattoos
And very soon
Mother will be calling me
Saying "come up stairs,
You got some work to do"

When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?

You are hiding in your mind
Working all the time
Trying to make it better than you got it

You been spendin' all your time
Searching for a sign
That's never gonna look the way you want it

Think you better wise up, boy
Think you better wise up, boy
Think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
