Off Kilter

Just a little bit off kilter
Just a wee bit to the left
Can't seem to find my head

Forgot where I put my thoughts
Nothing seems to fit and
I keep looking for a way

But it seems that I've lost that, too
Which is harder, going up
The front of the mountain

Or climbing down the back
Wander here and wander there
And wind up somewhere I

Have never been before
Out of kilter, out of step and
Just a wee bit to the left

Sometimes it's good to be a little off kilter. It lets you look at things in a whole new perspective.
