I wrote this in under two hours. It's no Brandon, but it's fast for me. Thanks to Grace for the idea and inspiration!
I just wrote something unexpected
Not for anyone but me and you
The publishers and fans don't know it
but it's beautiful - and it's mine
What else can I do?
(Fans:) let us read, let us read
(new books, let us read, let us read) What else can I do?
(we're hooked, let us read, let us read)
(you troll, let us read, let us read)
I write lines of literature
Books earn smiles by the piles
I write perfect practiced proses
Not much hides behind my style
What could I do if I just wrote what I was feeling in the moment?
(Peter: Do you know where you're going? Whoa!)
What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be signed for
I just needed to write; and they let me write
A hurricane of words and paper
Mishmash plots (not!), pages and lines (this is fine)
This extra time frees up my mind, it is sublime
I wrote this for you
What else can I do?
Can I deliver us a fourth story too?
Don't worry about burnout, a little just won't do
I want to move on to something new
I'm not sick of the old, it's just time to be bold, so I choose
It just seemed like you weren't doing okay, from that video yesterday
(How long can this secret hold)
All we know are the worlds that you show and it's awesome to see what's inside
How much can I write - here's the proof, no more lies - let's go
A hurricane of words and paper
Mishmash plots (not!), pages and lines (shine!)
This extra time frees up my mind, it is sublime
I wrote this for you
What else, what else?
What can you write when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment
(Kickstarter numbers are growing)
What can you write when you have nowhere else to be in the world
I'm with my family today (everyone, it'll be okay)
I'm coming through with a year of swag (with that big bag!)
Making news, New York Times ("changing times")
The way is brighter, days and nights're swell - we owe this all to you
What else can I do?
(Emily: show 'em what you can do)
What else can I do?
(Fandom: there's nothing you can't do)
What else can I do!
Man, I don't know that I'm better than the original, but then I always see flaws in what I write *embarrassed smile* still, Lin is a really good songwriter. Thank you!
