An Exercise

John Frusciante

Learning there's nothing to gain from advice

Hey doubt, some around anytime

Anyhow mistakes are what lead you through life

Down and out's only if you think up and in's right

I've gone along with all the sins that are versions of you

But guidelines were all i had time to get through

It's like reading of love that's gone wrong

If time was laid out like that

Everything would occur at once

And all the laws were laid down twice

And the clouds were doubled in the sky

And being tall meant lacking height

And being wrong was being right

You're perfect

You fit snuggly right in the lie

One host is going to teach how to die

Lay down

The darkness tonight is so bright

Reasons

there's one for each time cars collide

I hear that telling moments divide

And the only important moments

Are the in between times

And being confused is an exercise

I'm missing your thoughts tonight

But we reach out to what's out of our sight
