Small Strides Lyrics by Umphrey’s McGee

Asking For a Friend

2022

[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of the run around
Everybody's all wired to burst
Time lies and it's never accountable
It all seems too rehearsed
All sides can come around (If you wanted)
Small strides at first (If you want it)
Takes all kinds to get it right (Think you got it)
I might be the worst

[Chorus]
Does it feel alright leaving no replies?
Doesn't seem too overpriced
Didn't mean to bite but you're so uptight
Stuck in between what's right and what works

[Verse 2]
Every time I look at you, all I wanna do
Is turn your baby brown eyes blue
Everything you gotta say, I'll take it
If there's anything you wanna break
Anything you wanna do, believe me when I tell you that I want it too

[Chorus]
You know that I'll be alright, everything so well timed
You really shouldn't be so surprised
If it's real then why do any other rules apply?
You really couldn't see a smaller stride

[Chorus]
You know that I'll be alright, everything so well timed
You really shouldn't be so surprised
If it's real then why do any other rules apply?
Stuck in between what's right and what works
