I will draw up a plan
Find my footing and stand
I will see if I can
Somehow
See through this to the line
In light of these dark times
A meticulous draft
The ins and outs all intact
Probably has a gap still
Somewhere
Blindsided by the rush
In the cold river flush
What will be will be
hopefully
Something real
Approaching an ideal
I will devise a scheme
To see what hasn’t be seen
In the infinite sea
Of possibility
Perhaps I already know
Deep down in my soul
I’m hungry for something real
I will not accept the deal
What comes out
will be hopefully
Something approaching
an ideal
Something real

Love the quiet gentleness of this. The melody takes some unexpected turns as well, a nice surprise. Good work!

Mmm...that opening guitar is so sweet and gentle. I was drawn in by the title, since I often think about what it would even mean to approach an ideal. This is a really pretty song. It's really nice as it easy, but it could go in lots of directions: chamber pop, rocking, whatever...It's just a good song. I like how you pick it out at the end
