Song#8 Endup

I could tell you guys a heck of a boring story why I haven't been cranking out more stuff, but I'll spare you the details, since I have more than surpassed my quota of complaining during this project.
Anyway, I'm back, but for one reason or another I don't have a tribute song. I tried, but the closest I got was a verse and a half about Calvin and Hobbes, that was really hard to make work. I'll still try and do it to get the tribute song done, but I know I've completely screwed the deadline. I can only appeal and say "extenuating circumstances" and throw myself on the mercy of the court.
This song is based of a chord progression I came up with 4 years ago and promptly shelved because it was too poppy/simple. I was playing to vent some frustration and soothe myself a bit and I slipped into it. The lyrics flowed, initially, from the decisions I am caught in between at the moment, and have been all month.
I for the longest time couldn't come up with any more verses, so the third was kinda FAWMed in there. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Endup
The headway you make
Depends on the angle you take
Is it a straight line
Is it side to side
Always consider the source
Before you set your course
Once you do the math
There is no easy path
Where you’ll end up
Nobody knows
That’s just the way it goes
Where you’ll end up
Nobody knows
That’s just the way it goes
Many roads to walk
Many ways to talk
They could all have sight
But they can’t all be right
Always consider the source
Before you set your course
Once you do the math
There is no easy path

channel the boring story into a song (or, if that's what you just did, channel it to a different song). good to see you're back and kicking.
i'm at a computer without sound, so i'll just ponder the fawmed verse for now. i was gonna fawm all night, but i'm gonna rest and prepare for a massive assault tomorrow...

this is a nice catchy one, too. kind of a "farewell" song, y'know? like, for the end of an album? and i think 2 verses is fine (i do it all the time)... the solo-y riffs are well-placed.
