FAWM 2021 #13: The Corner of Might and Should

Uploaded without recording vocals because I'm on the edge of losing my voice today. The piano here is a "guide track" -- it wouldn't be present in the final mix.

Lyrics

You know the story, you've been here before.
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout what you oughtta ignore
It isn't any use; it will surely do no good,
Standing on the corner of might and should.

Standing on the corner, waiting for the light,
You know you'll regret it, you know it ain't right.
Temptation calls from across the way,
Will you step out into heartbreak, or stay?

You know the story, you've been here before.
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout what you oughtta ignore
It isn't any use; it will surely do no good,
Standing on the corner of might and should.

"Look both ways!" -- its a kindergarten rule,
"Simon says" -- you're gonna feel like a fool.
"Make good choices!" -- I know you thought you could,
But now you're standing on the corner of might and should.

You know the story, you've been here before.
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout what you oughtta ignore
It isn't any use; it will surely do no good,
Standing on the corner of might and should.

Yes, you're standing on the corner of might and should.
