Be Sensible

Let me have the keys and you can take a rest

From the lightless main street until the next

Who knows what there was to see before the light turned green

There's so much hell to live



The static or the silence; don't know which is worse

The dial isn't broken; that's the way it works

To the new professionals irregular is normal

It's all in how you pray

Not what needs to change



Don't get comfortable

Don't be sensible

Swing with all you have

Stop me if you can



Imagine we had canvas with the midnight coat

Dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow

Maybe I need stronger meds

Don't let those feelings in

I can't get closer now



Matters straight across and just for me to use

But there's always another choice; another way through

The notes in progress float along over your candle song

The game is how you play

Not who wears a ring



Don't get comfortable

Don't be sensible

Swing with all you have

Stop me if you can



I'm on the losing side

Not every time

I'm gonna lose this love of mine

Here are the words defined

But not one is mine

Why are we still so afraid

The things we do deserve the rightful names



Don't get comfortable

Don't be sensible

Swing with all you have

Stop me if you can



Don't get comfortable

Don't be sensible

Swing with all you have

Stop me if you can



I'm on the losing side

Not every time

I'm gonna lose this love of mine

Here are the words defined

But not one is mine

Why are we still so afraid

The things we do deserve the rightful names
