You Can't Plan It

I meant to take a dive, but slipped and fell in the pool
I dressed for a hot day, but it turned out to be cool
want to write a book, but pen a poem instead
this happens every time I try to think ahead

you make the list
you think you should persist
but just when you shift your weight
you're on a date

didn't win the lotto, then found a hundred bucks
met the president, good thing I wore a tux
couldn't fall asleep, so I went to see the sunrise
cuz every time I'm down I'm in for a surprise

you make the list
you think you should persist
but just when you shift your weight
you're on a date
