Orienteering Lyrics

Well the best intentions
And the greatest of plans
Can be the strangest investments
When you can't turn back
To the green pins
Marking where you've been
It's sort of orienteering

That may not have been
A good comparison

Well the best intentions
Got me lost in the forest stumbling
Into a quiet little village at 1am
Now I'm drinking at the good intent
And thinking maybe somehow reaching the end
Could've been some enabling movement

But that may not have been
A good comparison

Semi-itinerant
Unset up
And make a mess of it all
Chalk it up to lack of strength
Or inexperience
With my ropes and figure eight all messed up
To me it's nothing at all
