I Think Never is Enough

Ya never is enough... except wait!! I'm certain that between Melissa and myself we've covered all of these events... let us examine it.

What, am I to wake up suddenly and then (I wake up daily, and most of my actions are sudden)
enroll at the local college, earn me a degree (And University)
and I could work weekends? (Don't all of us... I mean, what ARE weekends off?)
If I've worked real hard
I could mow your back yard (Thats a pretty big "if")

I can go to Europe, travel with my friends (Or by herself)
I can blow a thousand deutsche marks
to get drunk in a pub with some Australians (Actually the Auzzie's paid for her drinks...)
Buy a giant backpacksew a flag on the back

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

I never had to spend a summer planting trees (Instead we picked pinecones and sorted seedlings)
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch (Mel made some good distance picking pinecones)
doubled over on my hands and knees (do we REALLY want to talk about how much time I spend on my knees?)

I never spent a single day in retail (Just door to door sales)
telling people what they want to hear
telling people anything to make a sale (Seriously, I needed money)
Eating in the food courtwith the old and the bored (They're not kidding... only the old and bored teenagers to keep you company on lunch breaks at Sport Chek)

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

The worlds your oyster shell
But what's that funny smell (The mould in my apartment bathroom)
You eat the bivalve anyway
you're sick with salmonella (I had Norwalk once...)

You get your Ph.D (BA in English and History)
How happy you will be
When you get a job at Wendy's (Tim Hortons)
And are honored with employee of the month (At Denny's... I'm not certain why I was ACTUALLY proud...)

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff

Wow...that's pretty impressive my friend!! However, I did want to do the travelling stuff...not so much the working at Tims or the tree business or spending 6-7 years of my life getting a degree...but wow!! Guess what? My good friend Chris Baxter may be coming to the JB too!! We're waiting for his confirmation that he can get the time off and bring his dog (dog is a big issue cuz it's kinda sick at the moment and may not be able to travel, hopefully the meds have kicked in by then) So yeah! That's all folks
