Written September 2000.
It is similar to "Come to Cleveland", "Dress Down" and "Squinting Optometrist" in that it was written in about ten minutes.

Make do, make do

If I'm seeing double like i've been through this again,
don't mean I gotta let logic kick in.
And if I'm living vicariously through me--
well, see, that's just redundancy.

Make do
Make do
You know you can always make do.

And maybe you might not feel as hard,
don't mean i'm gonna leave your backyard.
And if your hammock don't swing that high,
we can just sway from side to side.

Make do
Make do
You know you can always make do.

Toast the bottle up to eclipse the moon,
we don't have to head up there anytime soon.

I will will it so.  Well, no.  I don't know.
Just let it go, let fall turn into snow.
And it's okay if you don't feel as sure,
that's what kissing is for.

Make do
Make do
You know you can always make do.
