Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Concessions > Lyrics


    I'm not designed to concede
    But what I tried wasn't half as right as I
    thought it might be

    I'm not trying to compete
    It's no surprise I don't wonder why we have
    all arrived here

    My bearings aren't there to find
    Stop staring at the floor
    I swear it's just an oversight
    It shouldn't happen anymore

    These are not the faces you'll find that advertise a smile

    I'm sharing all my free advice
    It's not easy to ignore
    And no one's gonna tell you twice
    So I'll leave it in the drawer

    And leaving all replacements behind I'll make it worth your while

    I can't decide how to feel
    I'm not defined by the fact that I wouldn't
    buy your ideals

    You can't disguise what you steal
    The only lines that I could rely on were probably not real

    Your caring keeps you up at night
    Yeah you told me that before
    I'm wearing down the asking price
    But don't compromise the form

    These are not the faces you'll find that advertise a smile

    Uneasy as the stakes always rise
    We're all just scraping by

    And we all put faces on
    And the old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    And we all put faces on
    And the old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    And we all put faces on
    And the old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    And we all put faces on
    And the old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    And we all put faces on
    And the old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    We all put faces on
    The old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    We all put faces on
    The old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong

    We all put faces on
    The old mistakes we'll always own
    It's the only place with you where I belong
