Tired

(앨범: Is Everything Okay In Your World? - 2017)

"Oh, what's the use of trying? All you get is grades like that."

"Howard there's a very familiar pattern of behavior there. Sometimes we expect great things. Things can't always work out the way we expect. And when we're severely disappointed, we become emotionally upset. Well let me try to give you an example of this pattern of emotional upsets."

You say you're tired and I understand
'Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always unsure what to do

I drag my feet, all the way home
Figured I should probably spend some time alone
Me, myself, and poor old I
We always got dumbfounded and we can cry

"Now, dreaming, together with realistic planning, can be very fruitful. But John's dream was not realistic. He expected perfection on his very first try. Naturally."

You say you're tired and I understand
'Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always unsure what to do

They scream from the towers, sit back and relax
I listen closely, for they can't repeat their act
It's at the price of a good life, and that's where I'll stay
So darling for you I'm gonna change my ways

You say you're tired and I understand
'Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always unsure what to do

"John's so disappointed that he suffered an emotional upset. He raged and stormed."
"But that's so childish!"
"Yes, it was an infantile reaction, and of course, you wouldn't react that way, would you?"
"Oh, no, that's silly!"
"But you might feel that way."
