"No On Says You Have To" lyrics

"No On Says You Have To"

I can't say I'm underrated
I can't say it, so
I can't say I'm underrated
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."
I know, I know, I know

It gets so lonely inside my mind
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

She's no font of Christ-like patience
And neither, sir, am I
But she's honest in her imperfections
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 and take your time."

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 says, "No one says you have to.
Let go and take your time"
Let go and take your time
Let go and take your time
