The Linear (3.12.10) Songtext
von Umphrey’s McGee

Caught in the moment
its never easy to decide
when you know the simple fact
is that the answers there
and the quicker that you think
it means the less you′re aware

the minute your chosen
its always easy to forget
that you only live once
better get it quick
the solution is
you never really stop to think

nobody told you
or at least thats what you said
you've been careless now
for way too long
and you′re better off admitting
when you know that you're wrong


Didn't you know this
or were you listening
out of time
you′ve been stuck on things
that you can′t subtract
if it were up to me
than you could take it all backbackback

Am I imposing
Im only trying to be sincere
I've got a little bit more now
than I had before
and if you take it all back
then I′d still have more

But reluctantly
I know I should shut
my mouth
you should always pay attention
to the things you say
regardless of the meaning
words will always remain

Are you convinced yet
or are we just wasting air
cuz I'm way too tired to
sit and reminisce
about the things I′ve lost
that I still miss


Back in the moment
we're digging deep enough
this time
forget about your future
let the past dispense
you know, life is only living
in the present tense
