Lyrics
Be Sensible
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.
Let me have the keys and you can take a rest
From one lifeless main street until the next
Who knows what there was to see
Before the light turned green
There's so much here to learn.
The static or the silence don't know which is worse
The dial isn't broken that's the way it works.
To the new professionals,
Irregular is normal.
It'll all in how you pray
Not what needs to change.
Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.
Imagine we had canvas with our midnight cold
We'd dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow.
Maybe i need stronger meds,
Don't let those feelings in
I can't get closer now.
Matter's straight across and just for me to use.
But theres always another choice, another way through
The notes of progress float along,
Over your candle song.
The game is how you play,
Not who wears a ring.
Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.
I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.
Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.
Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.
I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.
