lyrics

Don't take yourself so seriously

I saw you flying off the cuff, austere reality
Pretentious, mellifluous - all the rage
Considering you lost your nerve, and that's okay
Could it all mean that there's a way to get away?
Do you feel like letting go? Are you in control?
I don't think so
Is your lifeline getting slow? Are you lost with nowhere to go?

In this life there's no getting out alive

Please just lighten up
You're so ridiculously out of touch
Get over yourself and make a different way for everybody else
Not just you

Don't take yourself so seriously

You heard me running off my mouth like I did, without a doubt
Motormouth; get it working out
Garrulous, I must be feeling marvelous because these syllables are spilling and I'm feeling like my mind did the splits
You saw me flying off the cuff and that's okay
Because I feel like letting go. I'm not in control.
Turning in my soul

Will you please just lighten up?
You're so predictable we've given up
Get over yourself and make different waves for everybody else
swimming here

Serious.

So please just lighten up
You're so predictably oblivious to everything
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
Get over yourself

Lighten up.

Don't take yourself so seriously
