It’s Me

(*Beth Thornley)
Is it me who’s once again*
Fallen into awkward pauses?
Or has the world just gone and skipped a beat?
‘Cause I laugh before the punch line;
Out of place and at the wrong time
Tangled up again in my own feet
So won’t you throw me a line?
Please be so kind; I’m going under
Just reel me in; now’s a good time
I have to wonder is it just me?
Or everybody?
I think it’s me
And I’ve tried to play it cool
But I’m reminded how I got no moves
Life is surely hard some days
So you know I wonder sometimes
If I had better quit while I’m behind
Get back to the starting gate
So won’t you throw me a line?
Please be so kind; I’m going under
Give me a sign; now’s a good time
I have to wonder is it just me?
Or everybody?
I think it’s me
I’ve clocked some distance but somebody failed to mention
That with the anchor down there’s way too much resistance
And though I’m still moving, I’m circling down
