Lyrics
Distracted
c, Jason Emery, 2006
VERSE:
I can't win it doesn't matter how good I've been
You are so set to never give me credit
If all that you want is to hear me say I'm sorry I am
Conviction, a greedy brat with an open hand
Working through contradiction - to complicate such a simple plan
When every thought I have comes out unfiltered
t's work just to stay aware of what I might do
And even though you knew that we would get through it
You didn't want to hear me say I'm scared, well I am
CHORUS:
It's o.k. if you already know what I'm going to say
As long as you don't mind it when it comes
I've been thinking about it all day
A cheap stash , a sure step and a pun
VERSE:
Distracted a jokers share of a winning hand
I promise to quit waiting and watching through the ceiling
Even though sometimes I'm barely worth believing, I am
Annoy me, it's better left to someone who cares
Much like the rest of my choices but I'm not just going to sit here
You were so set to never give me credit
If all that you want is to hear me say you're right I just did
And even though I know that we'll get through it
I've never been this old before as bold as I am
CHORUS:
It's o.k. if you already know what I'm going to say
As long as you don't mind it when it comes
Cause I've been thinking about it all day
A cheap stash, a sure step and a pun
