Lyrics

Let me have the keys and you can take a rest

From one lifeless main street until the next

Who knows what there was to see

Before the light turned green

There's so much here to learn

The static or the silence don't know which is worse

The dial isn't broken that's the way it works

To the new professionals

Irregular is normal

It'll all in how you pray

Not what needs to change

Don't get comfortable

Don't be sensible

Swing with all you have

Stop me if you can

Imagine we had canvas with our midnight cold

We'd dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow

Maybe i need stronger meds

Don't let those feelings in

I can't get closer now

Matter's straight across and just for me to use

But theres always another choice, another way through

The notes of progress float along

Over your candle song

The game is how you play

Not who wears a ring Don't get comfortable Don't be sensible Swing with all you have Stop me if you can

I'm on the losing side Not everytime I'm gonna lose this love of mine Here are the words to find Not one is mine Why are we still so afraid? The things we do deserve their rightful names

Don't get comfortable Don't be sensible Swing with all you have Stop me if you can Don't get comfortable Don't be sensible Swing with all you have Stop me if you can I'm on the losing side Not everytime I'm gonna lose this love of mine Here are the words to find Not one is mine Why are we still so afraid? The things we do deserve their rightful names
