Funny how it goes, like this, this life, it took off what I hid behind the front of the whole world
I sing for myself to be who I am
And living life off the beaten path, began to feel too good for my own good
I lost control behind the wheel on a road to a place I don't belong
You showed me once again, you know that everything will be okay
You told me once again, this life will be the life and death of me
Well, I learned one thing as a fool, it don't pay that well
The court says I should play it cool, they must not know me at all
And so I hopped a plane to New York, fell in love in the haze of Central Park
Discovered what it means to live above the fear that's justified in me
And Everett I won't forget that moment that transcended me
I gave it all my time and space, all the love and rage that makes me
Well, I learned one thing as a fool, it don't pay that well
The court says I should play it cool, they must not know me at all
Cause taking chances with my life makes me feel alive, in some ways I know don't seem right
Do you feel that too??
