Album: New American Saint
Let it roll of your back
And let it slip off your tongue
Before you lose your nerve
And end up right back where you started from
Are you just waiting for the right time?
Are you holding off until you see a sign
To say something?
Or are you just bluffing?
I recognize the worry in your eyes,
Because I've been there a couple hundred times
So take it from me,
Speak up or you'll wish you'd done differently
Let it roll of your back
And let it slip off your tongue
Before you lose your nerve
And end up right back where you started from
Because when it's over, then it's done
And, boy, to tell you the truth,
If you put your foot in your mouth,
You'd still be better off than kicking yourself
It's obvious that you're conflicted
To carry on or just to nix it?
Should you stay the course or just walk out that door?
If I were you, I would be on my way
The rest of your life could start today
If not now, then when?
If Not Now, When??
Let it roll of your back
And let it slip off your tongue
Before you lose your nerve
And end up right back where you started from
Because when it's over, then it's done
And, boy, to tell you the truth,
If you put your foot in your mouth,
You'd still be better off than kicking yourself
So tell me what you'll say,
When you finally come face to face,
When there ain't no turning back,
Because this is your last chance
Let's hear it
'I'm through trying to hold onto this,
Because you seem to be over it
So kiss these almond eyes goodbye,
Because this is the last time you'll see them cry'
