Kevin Devine - No One Says You Have To lyrics

“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.”
