[Verse 1]
The wolf by the ears, the tiger by the tail
The sinking realization that this time you're gonna... failure is a friend
Who talks behind your back
Puts the bit between your teeth, let's the cat out of the bag
[Chorus]
And these things may mean more
To me than to you
Just because you don't believe it
Doesn't mean it isn't true
True
[Post-Chorus]
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
[Verse 2]
Comparison's a thief, a despot and a liar
It will take away your joy in the happiest of.. time will never tell
Space is gonna win
The prayer is to the saint what the bed is to the sin
[Chorus]
And these things may mean more
To me than to you
Just because you don't believe it
Doesn't mean it isn't true
True
[Chorus]
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
Roll with the punches
Smell the roses
