Rewind the tape
Just a little ways
The things you’ll see
You’ll be amazed
By what you missed
While you were staring
Into space
Barely there-ing

It’s not because
You were not caring
It’s more just that
The futures scary

Looking back
You will regret
Each moment that
You let
Your attention slip
Even momentary
Out of the moment
Barely there-ing

It’s not because
You were not caring
It’s more just that
The futures scary

But don’t judge
Yourself too hard
Don’t dig your grave
Out in the yard
Spend your days
Just preparing
To bring yourself back
From barely there-ing

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
