“Like I Ought To Feel” ©2012, Matt Fitzgibbons (ASCAP)

I’m waiting in a desert for my ship to come in
Standing on the back of a whale, fishing for minnows again
Hoping to win my fortune, but I never play
I guess they were right, it doesn’t work that way.

Trying to paint landscapes without using green
Planning to add some impulse to my routine
Hoping I’ll learn to live with what I cannot say
I guess they were right, it doesn’t work that way.

And I feel like I ought to feel
And I don’t think I deserve an appeal.

I tried to change my feelings and the way I think
I tried to cheat the river Styx, but I’d always sink
I finally found the secret force under Charon’s boat
I just breathe real deep and let my conscience float.

And I feel like I ought to feel
And I don’t think I deserve an appeal.

I won’t wait till my worry’s behind
I won’t wait for the stars to align
I won’t till the feeling is right
And I won’t be home tonight.

And I feel like I ought to feel
And I don’t think I deserve an appeal.
