Something Wicked This Way Comes · 1962
Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up again with everybody else.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker rejects waiting for perfection and instead describes falling down and getting up with others. Progress becomes something attempted amid ordinary mistakes. The contrast values participation and recovery over postponement, presenting imperfection as a condition shared with the rest of life.
