Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song while thinking of how quickly people accept the unacceptable from strangers, but expect the unexpectable from friends. We are who we are - get around it, and enjoy the time we have left.

Lyrics
GET AROUND IT
words and music by James A Nelson; April 13, 2005
AND IF I WAS SO MUCH FASTER THAN YOU,
I WOULDN?T BLAME YOU FOR TRYING TO SLOW ME DOWN
AND IF I COULD SMILE MUCH BRIGHTER THAN YOU,
I WOULD NEVER TRY TO ? TRY TO BRING YOU DOWN
BUT I DON?T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
LET?S SEE IF WE CAN GET AROUND IT
AND IF I WAS A BIT SMARTER THAN YOU,
I WOULDN?T TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL DUMB
AND IF I WAS MUCH RICHER THAN YOU,
I WOULD NEVER BLAME YOU FOR WANTING SOME
BUT I DON?T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
LET?S SEE IF WE CAN GET AROUND IT
?CAUSE WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
AND THE SUN IS ALREADY SHINING
AS YOU RUB YOUR EYES AND YOU SWEAR
AT THE ALARM CLOCK
IT?S COLD OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW
BUT IT?LL WARM UP
BEFORE YOU STEP OUT THERE
MAKE SURE YOU DRESS IN LAYERS
AND IF I WAS MUCH THINNER THAN YOU,
I WOULDN?T TELL YOU THAT YOU COULD LOSE SOME WEIGHT
AND IF I WAS MUCH BRAVER THAN YOU,
I?D NEVER EXPECT FOR YOU TO TRY AND TEMPT YOUR FATE
BUT I DON?T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
LET?S SEE IF WE CAN GET AROUND IT
