Quick, Brain Lyrics by The Appreciation Post

Slip Away

2014

[Verse 1]
Traffic lights give me time to relive my entire life
Reciting words I wish I had instead of all the things I said
License plate, you read my lips
Just telling it like it is
Every night another chance to get it right and hit the gas

[Chorus]
Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would a human say?
Quit it, heart
We don't want you getting in the way
But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right, stay quiet

[Verse 2]
Telephone, you're startling
Don't want to know who's calling in
Anxiety is on the line
Waiting for a reason why
Dial tone
Hold my breath
Just let me know when they've left
It's way too late to give a fuck
But I just can't hang it up

[Chorus]
Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would a human say?
Quit it, heart
We don't want you getting in the way
But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right after all

[Bridge]
The more I think, the less I'm feeling anything
The more I speak, the less I'm saying anything

[Chorus 2]
Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would the real me say?
Quick, heart
Kick start
You better lead the way
Quick, brain
Think, brain
Quick, heart
Kick start
You better lead the way
But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right after all
