Linguistic bemusement XI

This morning, while listening to an out-of-town radio station, I passed on hearing a song all the way through.  Upon hearing its opening lyric, "As I look out my window...," I thought, "That's a logical way to start one's lyrics.  You look out the window, and see what inspires you."

Immediately after that, however, I thought, "That's also a very cliched way to start a song.  On a different day, I might stick around for a while and see where it leads.  Not today, though."

Hopefully, I didn't miss out on any perceptive insights from that singer-songwriter.
