Sometimes in life I find myself sitting and doing nothing when there’s a hundred and one things I’d love to accomplish. Thing’s I’d love to learn, places I’d like to visit, things I want to be brave enough to do or say or start. This song is just about that procrastination and the day I came to the conclusion that whoever you are, if you want to achieve something, you should quit talking about it all the time and go get it. It’s a song that embraces slow progress because its progress and that’s really all that matters.
lyrics
No Lie,
Words on my lips my tongue like,
stroking my ego, my pride
do it for me all the time.
Bone dry,
and water wont offer respite.
And nothing I say will rehydrate my desert soul to life.
Cause you can be trouble, I can be trouble, baby lets start the war
or you could be faithful, I will be humble, we do it like they did before.
Conversational, cards on the table, poker face out the door.
So make a decision, what’s your ambition, show me what you;’re good for.
Cause it is what it is
and there’s no need to talk about it
there’s no need to talk about it
there’s not need to talk about it, no.
Won’t do it, or you will but t
there’s no need to talk about it
there’s no need to talk about it
there’s not need to talk about it, no.
So done,
See my defenses all gone,
I’d rather be hurt than feel numb
So hit me with it love come on, come on
Oh my, run for the hills or don’t cry
But if you want this I’ll oblige
We could be worth the fight.
If this is for you, you know who you are, you know what to do.
If this is for you, you know who you are, you know what to do. Oh, Oh.
If this is for you, you know who you are, you know what to do.
I said if this is for you, you know who you are, you know what to do.
