Lyrics
Do The Nothing
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.
There's only so long you can hold your breath (Whispered)
There's only so long you can hold your breath
Only so long you can hold your breath
And you may never get as far as you wanted to
Never do the things that you wanted to
Never be as far as you thought you'd be
Never be as good as you thought you'd be
Something goes up, it's gotta come down
Nothing goes up that doesn't come down
Throw it in the air, it falls right down
Throw it in the air, it comes back down
Rocket in the air, tie it to the track
Take one step forward, and six steps back
Now you
You
You
You can do the nothing
And that means you
And you
And you
And you can do the nothing
To nothing
There's only so long you can hold your breath (whispered)
Only so long you can hold your breath (whispered)
There's only so long you can hold your breath
Only so long you can hold your breath
And you may never get as far as you wanted to
And you may never do the things that you wanted to
And you may never be as far as you thought you'd be
And you may never be as good as you thought you'd be
Now you
You
You
You can do the nothing
And that means you
And you
And you
And you can do the nothing
(nothing)
Now you
You
You
You can do the nothing
And that means you
And you
And you
And you can do the nothing
(Nothing)
You are dancing
Around
To nothing
You
And you
And you
Are dancing 'round to nothing
And that means you
And you
And you
Are listening to nothing
You
And you
And you
Are dancing 'round to nothing
And that means you
And you
And you
Are listening to nothing
To nothing
