Closer to Fine Ingrid Michaelson

[Verse 1]
I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing that you ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all

[Verse 2]
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source
The closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine

[Verse 3]
And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
I got my paper and I was free
