"To Get It Right" lyrics

"To Get It Right"

The city lights, they shine on you
It's a pretty night on the avenue
It's a full on nightmare
Makes it hard to believe in your best behavior, yeah
The city lights, they shine on you

You've done alright but it's all untrue
The season fights but it pulls you through
It still don't fight fair
And the comedy calls and it might be failure, yeah
The city lights, they shine on you

To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard

It's a question no one answers
There's a secret point of view
You come on right there
Make it hard to believe it's your best behavior, yeah
The city lights, they shine on you

It's a pretty night on the avenue
You've done alright but it's all untrue
It's a full on nightmare
Makes it hard to believe in your best behavior, yeah
The city lights, they shine on you

To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard
To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard

There's no more crystal visions
There's no more to carve into
There's no more waiting, yeah
The city lights, they shine on you

To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard
To get it right is hard to do
But we get it right, yeah, it's what we do, yeah

To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard
To get it right is hard to do
We get it right, it's what we do
