fine print Lyrics

At least the chips on my shoulder are gluten free

The baggage I've got's not too heavy

It might be nice, to live my life

But the weight's a workout in my mind

*workout*

Don't we like to keep things under wraps

Up until it's bad but before that

It's not yet worth the dust and dirt

Sweep it underneath the rug like it'll never hurt

You know that never works

And I know I've been away

For several days

And all the ways I try to feel okay

There's some fine print

With some bad news, I didn't read

No!

Nobody ever told me

If you're always on a vacation, that you won't get paid

I can't be bothered with how much it stings

Cause I'm really good at lots of other things

At least the ways we try to

Run away from anything that's broken

Are pretty good at keeping us in neverending motion!

We're in great shape, sure it's shaping us

But is it really that dangerous?

Deflection is a cocktail we call a mocktail

It's toxic, locks you down in a dark cell

It's time for facing this, it's not as big

As big you think it is

And I know I've been away

For several days

And all the ways I try to feel okay

There's some fine print

With some bad news, I didn't read

No!

Nobody ever told me

If you're always on a vacation, that you won't get paid

But I can't be bothered by the way it stings

Cause I'm really good at lots of other things

The message I speak is slightly subliminal

We're our own worst enemy it's a miracle

That we made it this far

Avoiding what gets hard

If we could just face our obstacles

We'd see what's possible

We'd finally start

And I know I've been away

For several days

And all the ways I try to feel okay

There's some fine print

With some news I should probably read

I guess I must've missed the part where there's a fee, a hidden cost

That's bigger than me

I'll pay attention to the way it stings

Cause I should be better at important things

More important things.
