What You Get
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.
Going the ride on my own
Living the wave that Iʼm counting on
Break out the mold that I made
Never the one, never could have stayed
Itʼs a bird, itʼs a plane, itʼs another wild claim
Itʼs a white knight against a flame
Is it wrong? Is it right? I think I just saw the light
And yes, Iʼm gonna take out a bite
Read the writing on the wall, every word and made them fall
What you see... Not to be... What you get
Written out on planet fate, changed it all and got away
What you see ainʼt gotta be what you get
Taking a turn and Iʼm thrown
A million to one, never would have known
Thinking I knew what was next
Just back up the thought, never would have guessed
Itʼs a left, itʼs a right, Iʼm on a mystery flight
Itʼs a “game on” against divine
Is it up? Is it down? ainʼt got my feet on the ground
And now Iʼm gonna take what I found
Read the writing on the wall, every word and made them fall
What you see... Not to be... What you get
Written out on planet fate, changed it all and got away
What you see ainʼt gotta be what you get
Might not be what you wanna hear
Nothing like you thought it would have been
Might not be everything you fear
Nothing like they said it would have been
Now itʼs here... Now itʼs here...
Read the writing on the wall, every word and made them fall
What you see... Not to be... What you get
Written out on planet fate, changed it all and got away
What you see ainʼt gotta be what you get, what you get
Written out on planet fate, changed it all and got away
What you see ainʼt gotta be what you get
