The Trouble With Templeton - I Wrote a Novel lyrics

[Verse 1] I wrote a novel about it Grammatically it's full of holes My specialty's never been Knowing where them commas go And I made a promise about it And you'd think by now I would have learned That page and pen and good intent Don't represent a corner turned [Chorus] I should know better than I do And I would, if I could, if I had the will to want to But I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still [Verse 2] And I'm so frightened of failure That I'm scared to even begin That irony's not lost on me I just refuse to let it sink in And I'm a creature of habit Cotton, comfort, sun, and cold Leave me outside when the river's high And eventually I'll turn to stone [Chorus] I should know better than I do And I would, if I could, if only I had the will... oh, forget about it But I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still And I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still [Instrumental + Whistle] [Outro] Oh I already know this, I already know this well And yet I remain it, I remain it still
