"spine" lyrics

You saw a risk worth taking
I wanted you to try
You'd always end up staying
Way past your slotted time

You said this needs explaining
I sighed and rolled my eyes
Told me that you're the man
And I just let you fantasize

Gotta let you go
Should've really known

You're never gonna get it right
It's the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine
Boy, he needs to grow a spine

Go on and rehearse your lines
Say the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine
Boy, he needs to grow a spine

I wanted something different
You were the first in line
I wish I hesitated
But I didn't see the signs

Gotta let you go
Should've really known

You're never gonna get it right
It's the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine
Boy, he needs to grow a spine

Go on and rehearse your lines
Say the same thing every time
That boy, he needs to grow a spine
Boy, he needs to grow a spine

Boy, boy, you need to grow!
Boy, boy, you need to grow!
Boy, boy, you need to grow!
Grow a spine!
