lyrics

Would you rather tip toe
Or be stuck down on your knees?
Luckily you have the choice to stand up on your feet
And breathe deeply
Don’t trap yourself in this dirty project
And project your thoughts onto this white sheet
And follow me

We have a tendency to keep it legit
And forget about it
I swear it won’t happen this time
Live in this moment
And breathe this fresh air
It won’t shock the system
So need not despair

For all I know
We could have just fallen behind tonight
For all I see
For this sake, for my sake, let’s just be
Let’s just be

They misspelt his name, and forgot his birthday
For this type of love there’s nothing to hold onto
On any floor, in anyplace, in any building
So take the quickest way down and out
