No song yesterday
No song today
I’m avoiding something
What it is I can’t say
Double pages yesterday
No pages today
Something’s in me somewhere
But I can’t bring it out, no way
It’s easier for me to roll over and go to sleep
Than to face myself with paper and pen
It’s easier to make excuses than to get up and keep
The commitments I made to myself back when
No song yesterday
No song today
The music’s in my mind
The words I can’t say
Maybe I’ll write
On time I’ll squeeze or borrow
Maybe I’ll forget it
and pick it up tomorrow
maybe I’ll steal chances
When I think nobody’s looking
Maybe I’ll get in trouble
Or maybe I’ll lose my footing
No song yesterday
No song today
But hey look at this
I wrote one anyway
No song yesterday
But at least one song today
It isn’t so bad
I guess I found what to say.

Sometimes it's all so much easier to procrastinate than actually take action and responsibility for that action. It's a shame, though, because you might actually have something important to say but then you cheat yourself and the world of it by just rolling over and going back to sleep. I know, I've done this too many times, and I still struggle with it.
This song goes back to the early 2000s, when I was dealing with just this issue. Still no music for it.
