lyrics

In the careful selection of your words
You find yourself doing all you can to not be heard
You find it's easier than you'd think
Picturing yourself right on the brink

All the games you like to play
You don't know if you're winning
It's hard to say
You always do know the score
But you're wondering what all that effort was for

I want to know whatever's getting you down
And I want to help you lose it and get found
If we can't be optimistic, we'll be impractically realistic
And I'm going to help you run it out of town

In the careful selection of your words
You find yourself doing all you can to not be heard
You find it's easier than you'd think
Picturing yourself right on the brink
Of something big

Feel the weight of what you know
Slipping off your shoulders now nice and slow
All you need is in your head
First you leap then you find the net

I want to know whatever's getting you down
And I want to help you lose it and get found
If we can't be optimistic, we'll be impractically realistic
And I'm going to help you run it out of town
