A Speedy Recovery

(album: Grace Street - 2017)

So could you be tempted out of the hive
Get some bang for your buck and feel really alive
Could you see past the hills behind your place
A brand new life and a brand new face
Step right up baby if you dare
You can leave your bags by the back stair
Just let go and grab on to mine
Nobody wants to wait in line
But mind yourself baby its a hell of a trip
There's many a slip, twixt the cup and the lip
Have you ever gone against those rules before
And followed those footsteps out the door
He saw you coming before you entered the room
Now he's feeding you lines and he knows what to do
Would you really believe what he said to you
Would you really believe it, I can't believe it
A speedy recovery please, don't bite your nails
There'll be no more in-betweens, just pass or fail
How could you ever have known
And how could you ever have grown so well
Let's break all of those promises and run
Don't feel like just isn't given away
What you're leaving behind is always in the way
We've seen it all happen like a thousand times
You can change the plot but you're still reading the lines
I remember all those afternoons turning down the world til its me and you
Now its just a little different behind your eyes
You're inside out and you're all capsized
If I could do it all again then I would try to be
The kind of person that you wanted to see
I never really changed and that's not me
If only words could really set you free
He saw you coming before you entered the room
Now he's feeding you lines and he knows what to do
Would you really believe what he said to you
Would you really believe it, I can't believe it
A speedy recovery please, don't bite your nails
There'll be no more in-betweens. just pass or fail
How could you ever have known
How could you ever have grown so well
Let's break all of those promises and run
I was only having fun

You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe should have listened to your father
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe think about your daughter

You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe cause you don't listen to your father
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe stay out of the water
You don't need the risk babe think about your daughter

A speedy recovery please Don't bite your nails
There'll be no more in-betweens, just pass or fail
How could you ever have known
How could you ever have grown so well
Let's break all of those promises and run
Were you only having fun?
