"You're Only Human" 

(Billy Joel / You're Only Human)

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good

The book you're writing isn't happening but you wish it would

It's not right, it's not right

You know you've got what it takes

Your only human, but that doesn't mean you get any breaks

You better believe there will be times in your life

When you think you'll never write again

Well that'll be a lesson you need to learn my friend

And you'll find out when you feel the pain

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner or later you'll get your second wind

It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain

You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again

It's alright, it's alright

Though you want some rest breaks

You're a writer, you have to give what it takes

Like any author who gets writer's block

You're gonna sit in that room all alone

Scrunching up those sheets of mistakes

Filled with all those chapters where the plot was blown

Don't forget your second wind

Wait in your corner until that breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days

Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong

Sometimes you just want to lay down and die

That emotion can be so strong

But hold on

Till that old second wind comes along

Get yourself a fresh glass of wine and delete all that crap

Move those fingers and give yourself a slap

It's alright, it's alright

Sometimes we need a shove

We're only human

We rely on tough love

Tap that keyboard with your goal in mind

Let that story come out of your heart

And you'll begin to see that perfect plot

The one you thought would never start

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in
