From the recording All the Ways You Give Yourself Away
(For anyone having trouble being true to themselves and all that entails.)
Lyrics
You say yes when you’re thinking no
You run at breakneck speed when you feel like moving slow
You hold it in even when you’ve got a lot to say
Oh baby all the ways you give yourself away
You wanna dance but you never do
Just a little too caught in what everybody thinks of you
You’ll save your chance for another day so you say
Oh baby all the ways you give yourself away
What do you learn waiting your turn
Knowing you give and give and never take
You won’t win playing pretend
Cause when you bend and bend you’re bound to break
You drive your car to the edge of town
And dream of flying so far before you turn around
And play the game what a shame that you always play
Oh baby all the ways you give yourself away
