and when that happens, i'll confidently make up the lyrics. [and sometimes i get caught.]
i had the recent realization that it's not "everybody plays the flute" and it's actually "everybody plays the fool" by aaron neville. all these years...
and i think this is similar to my life: sometimes if i'm getting it wrong, i'll confidently pretend like i'm getting it right. [until i get caught.] i'm all about faking it til i make it, for now, at least.
i'm going to go play the flute.

This might be my favorite post you've ever written.
I love learning this tidbit about you because I too have difficulty with lyrics. I can't say I'm as confident as you are though... unless only Jonathan is in the car. ;)
My favorite story from my friend Katie is that for a long time she thought the line in Tiny Dancer was "Hold me closer Tony Danza" instead of "Hold me closer tiny dancer."
I can't hear that song and NOT sing it her way. It's just so much better.
