No One Says You Have To

Kevin Devine

Verse 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 Bridge It gets so lonely inside my mind I'm surrounded in love all the time Verse 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 Bridge 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." Solo Bridge 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
