Smart Thing Lyrics by Outfit

Slowness

2015

Why live alone
Why dry your heart out
In a room on your own
When there's something you've been needing to say
Why stay at home
Why sit with friends
When there's room on the throne
We've been waiting for you praying for you
It's not déjà vu
Just an old disaster
From a new point of view
And everyone's afraid to say
What's bad for me
What gives me headaches
Should be the right thing to do

You wouldn't wanna waste your time
Even when it's broke you say it's fine
And when we're in a tight spot I
Pretend that I'm listening
But I can hear somebody whispering
I pretend that I don't mind
We try to do the right thing
Always do the wrong thing
Need to do the smart thing

Do what you're told
Don't dig a hole
Without looking for gold
I hate to say I told you so but
Just like before
The one lesson learned
Is the one you ignore

You wouldn't wanna waste your time
Even when it's broke you say it's fine
And when we're in a tight spot I
Pretend that I'm listening
But I can hear somebody whispering
I pretend that I don't mind
We try to do the right thing
Always do the wrong thing
Need to do the smart thing

One minute more
Something is happening
And the smart thing to do
Could be to turn around and walk away
Just like before
The one lesson learned
Is the one you ignore
Just in case you didn't realise

You wouldn't wanna waste your time
Even when it's broke you say it's fine
And when we're in a tight spot I
Pretend that I'm listening
But I can hear somebody whispering
I pretend that I don't mind
We try to do the right thing
Always do the wrong thing
Need to do the smart thing
