about

From KG:
"A lot of modern songs really break things up a lot. Write a song where the verses vary in their rhythm and rhyme schemes. They don't have to be entirely different but at the very least they shouldn't all follow exactly the same scheme. The choruses can be the same or different. It's up to you. Any style."

How the hell did this banjo end up in my house? Also, I'm not sure I followed the directions. Also, I'm going to bed now.

lyrics

Put your flags in the ground
Put your flags in the ground
Taking the time, taking the time to work it out

Wherever your heart lies
There your soul is bound to stay
Until your dying day
Until your dying day
---
Wherever your heart flies
And your soul has slipped away
Until your dying day
Until your dying day

Put your flags in the ground
Put your flags in the ground
Taking the time, taking the time to work it out

We're all looking for good times
But they seem so far away
And our hearts begin to sway
Yeah, our hearts begin to sway
---
The off-chance of a good rhyme
we wonder, should we pray
Our hearts begin to sway
Our hearts will run away

Wherever your heart lies
There your soul is bound to stay
Until your dying day
Until your dying day
---
Wherever your heart flies
And your soul has slipped away
Until your dying day
Until your dying day
Until your dying day
Until your dying day

Put your flags in the ground
Put your flags in the ground
Taking the time, taking the time, taking the time
Taking the time, taking the time, taking the time
