lyrics

Looking back i smile at an earlier me
making all those perfect mistakes
and i wonder, where would i be?
if i had ever just played it straight
I know what i should do, but i never liked the taste of boring
and how would you know know if it was sink or swim if you didn't dive in?

DONT FORGET ITS THE GRIT THAT MAKES THE PEARL
DONT FORGET ITS THE SHIT THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW, WHEN YOURE KNOCKED DOWN, FACE TO THE GROUND, TAKE A LISTEN CAN YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, OF A CERTAIN SATISFACTION, KNOWING THAT YOU GO ON

I let my mind slide, let it go for a ride, cos the universe loves me and I feel that Im entitled
to be happy, permanently snappy, my smile flashing, my feet a tip-a-tapping
Im, trying to be wise, trying to get my eyes open, hoping my truth can be spoken, I
like to theorize and rationalize about why we are the way we are
but if it comes then it comes
and if it don't, then it don't
and the rest is a joke, you've got to let go, cos you are not in control

DONT FORGET ITS THE GRIT THAT MAKES THE PEARL
DONT FORGET ITS THE SHIT THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW, WHEN YOURE KNOCKED DOWN, FACE TO THE GROUND, TAKE A LISTEN CAN YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, OF A CERTAIN SATISFACTION,KNOWING THAT YOU GO ON
