To tell you the truth, this is how it feels
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Beatles - Fixing A Hole.
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering Where it will go I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door And kept my mind from wandering Where it will go And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong I’m right Where I belong I’m right Where I belong.
