I could just as easily slip between the cracks
And fall, fall, fall
Throw all hope down the drain
Smooth out the wrinkles
Keep it the same
Focus on a family everyday
Fall, fall, fall.

The author's comments:

People have high expectations for me and I often feel that there is no way that I meet any of them. Because of my home life and the culture around me, it would be possible to just forget about all my achievements and potential and just be a homemaker like my mother, and her mother, and her's, to have a simpler, less stressful existence.
