FAWM Song #7 - "Mailing It In"

The last song I submitted for FAWM 2013 was this little number, "Mailing It In" which is as much a commentary about my FAWM output as it is (sometimes) about my life. Despite the premise and the impetus behind it, it's actually one of my favorites from this year's go-round.
Again, I remind you, these are very rough demos (most of them recorded on the voice memo thingy on my iPhone) so please keep that in mind when listening.
Anyways, you can stream or download "Mailing It In" here. 


Well I’ve gone and done it again
Made a mess out of a simple thing
And I swore that I wouldn’t do
A thing like that to me and you
But I’m selfish and I’m weak
And I’m doing it now even as we speak
And I wish I could pretend
And lie to myself like I lie to my friends

But I’m mailing it in
Mailing it in
And I hope that no one’s noticin’
Cause I’m mailing it in
mailing it in
And I think I’ve always been
Mailing it in

And whats the greater sin?
To fail or not to try again?
Oh is it even fair
That I don’t feel enough to care
Yeah I wish that I could say
That it mattered to me either way
But it seems my apathy
Is finally catching up with me

‘cause I’m mailing it in
Mailing it in
And I hope that no one’s noticin’
Cause I’m mailing it in
mailing it in
And I think I’ve always been
Mailing it in

And whats the greater sin?
To fail or not to try again?

‘cause I’m mailing it in
Mailing it in
And I hope that no one’s noticin’
Cause I’m mailing it in
mailing it in
And I think I’ve always been
Mailing it in
