No One Says You Have To Lyrics

“I can’t say I’m underrated
I can’t say it, so -
I can’t say I’m underrated
But 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.”
And I know, I know I know

It gets so lonely inside my mind
But 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
And she’s no font of Christ-like patience
And neither, sir, am I
But she’s honest in her imperfections
And 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 & take your time.”
But 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 said, “No one says you have to
Let go & take your time
Let go & take your time
Let go & take your time.”
