And if you see layin' round it's alright to take it
It's nothing at all, and if nobody saw - who knew?
But if the circumstance is right and you're mistaken
I can't determine off hand, but I'd say that it's quite a few

Never speak too soon when an idea needs to level
That declarations can be made won't make them true
And if you don't make room in your backpack for the devil
You'll have the weight of the world lifted off your shoulders, too

Now I don't mean to be misleading
Yea I would hate to complicate your point of view
And if you really just presume that's my impression now of you
Well there's a lot of ground to cover and even more that we need to talk through

One day I won't be there when you fall
I know you got a lot that you got to say
Stop and think if it can wait at all
It doesn't mean I wanted to be gone
Maybe you can give me a reason for why it always feels like everybody's leavin'

Now if your haven't got too far by now don't worry
If you're stuck in the crowd and you've been thinking out loud, I'd stop
No I'm not suggesting here that you should hurry
But if everyone's out for theirs could there be enough?
Don't be flustered by your falls when they're occurring
It won't be factored into the final score at all
So if morality calls you up and leaves a message
It's always better advice so I would listen to it more than twice.

Now I don't mean to be misleading
Yea I would hate to complicate your point of view
And if you really just presume that's my impression now of you
Well there's a lot of ground to cover and even more that we need to talk through

One day I won't be there when you fall
I know you got a lot that you got to say
Stop and think if it can wait at all
It doesn't mean I wanted to be gone
