My Better Self Tennis

[Refrain]
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

[Verse 1]
Each and every attempt
A bit of substance spent
Despite the effort I have lent
You seem to lose what I meant

[Chorus]
If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met

[Verse 2]
Those who create it know
There is an ebb and flow
Of neither value given shows
That meaning comes and goes

[Refrain]
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
