Limits
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.
Today is not the day to get it done
Or not to get it done
Today I heard you say maybe it's ok
And everything looks great
Hold on to your armrest, don't be alarmed
I'm gonna do my best
'Cause it's a long haul and I'm in this
And once in a while I'd see the posted limits
Holding on, holding on
Did you hear? Was there a cheer?
Did it still make a sound though I was not around?
Despite the tears we made it here
But maybe that's the fear
Did it seem insincere?
Hold on to your armrest, don't be alarmed
I'm gonna do my best
'Cause it's a long haul and I'm in this
And once in a while I'd see the posted limits
Holding on, holding on
You do your best to deal with everything life throws
But diving in blind, headfirst, is a great way to break your nose
Everybody says that everybody knows
Knowing won't amount to much when pushing comes to blows
Hold on to your armrest, don't be alarmed
I'm gonna do my best
'Cause it's a long haul and I'm in this
And once in a while I'd see the posted limits
