Thrive Not Sink
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you're finding it easier to make an excuse
to avoid the tense moment
put your brain to use
hate to be just a face in the crowd
but you won't take a risk and shout it out loud
think back to a time you let
your palms get sweaty
your face get red
laugh just this once
just get a clue
take my advice here's what to do
Just thrive not sink
and don't sit and think
if your ass is bad
set it down with me
oh oh oh oh
get of the ground and turn yourself around
hit it
you are a god and so is she
or at least I have never met anyone more deserving of the title
I said
you are a god and so are we
or at least I've never met anyone more deserving of the title
but don't you just have to stop
and think of all the things we've created
like love and art and shoes
laugh just for once
just get a clue take my advice here's what to do
Just thrive not sink
and don't sit and think
if your ass is bad
set it down with me
oh oh oh oh
get of the ground and turn yourself around
hit it
Just thrive not sink
and don't sit and think
if your ass is bad
set it down with me
oh oh oh oh
get of the ground and turn yourself around
