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.’
|
