Tai Shan Straight Up Clever
Tracing the lines of the times in my mind when I should have been there
When I could have done something if only I had dared
Now I fumble my words and swallow the years that I could have tried
Etching out a smile just to pay for the pride
Chorus:
I gotta get it
Gotta get myself together
Got to be wise got to be bold got to be
Straight up clever
All of the days that you wasted away
When you could have tried
Scared of the dream you choose to survive
Every single day every word you waste every dream that you taste
Maybe you could put it all back together
Bridge:
Just keep your head above the
Just keep your head above the ground
I can’t get, get ahead take a step, say a word in edgewise sometimes
Its hard to swim in the paper-thin world that we’re living in
But keep your head on your shoulders and your shoulders to the sky
Listen to the little voice singing inside
Twisting your turns and spinning your words out of focus just notice you
Chorus
