Lyrics
The Boat I Row
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.
Many ways to go
It's hard to self-assure
When everyone's a pro
Sayin': It's so obvious
But really they don't know
(They don't know, men or machine)
Just like a monster that is only a shadow (a shadow)
From which I'm already runnin'
Easy, I suppose
And even if it takes a hundred-thousand goes
The way's in front of me 'cause that's the one I chose (I chose)
It's always starin' at you (barely a choice)
That's the boat I row (I row)
And though it seems to be
Endless
Problems, relentless
I know I'm oblivious
Bit overzealous
And possibly jealous
I run till I'm breathless
Try to suppress it
I couldn't bear it, so onward I go
Many ways to go
It's hard to self-assure
When everyone's a pro
Sayin': It's so obvious
But really they don't know
(They don't know, they don't know shit)
Just like a monster that is only a shadow (a shadow)
But you're already runnin'
Endless
Problems, relentless
I know I'm oblivious
Bit overzealous
And possibly jealous
I run till I'm breathless
Try to suppress it
I couldn't bear it, so onward I go
