Paroles No one says you have to Kevin Devine

No one says you have to

?I can't say I'm underrated
I can't say it, so -
I can't say I'm underrated
But I know, I know, I know.?

She says, ?Watch your ego, baby.?
She says, 'Take it slow.?
She says, 'That's a bad look, honey.?
And I know, I know I know
It gets so lonely inside my mind
But I'm surrounded in love all the time

I get stuck in simple phrases
Complicate straight lines
If there's a knot that don't need tying
I try, I try, I try
And she's no font of Christ-like patience
And neither, sir, am I
But she's honest in her imperfections
And I try, I try, I try

It just gets scary inside my mind
I turn straw men to monsters
And line their mouths with knives

I say, ?I can't race forever
Can't raise the rock so high.?
She says, ?No one says you have to
Let go & take your time.?
But it gets distorted inside my mind
Isolation, disconnection
Another person's life

I say, ?I can't race forever
Can't raise the rock so high.?
She said, ?No one says you have to
Let go & take your time
Let go & take your time
Let go & take your time.?
