Standards
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Slip off your shoes
You know the tide is coming in
You've got to lose before you get to win
Before you get to win
Relax that stance, ain't no one asking you to fight
It's like romance, you can't always get it right
Can't always get it right
Girl, what's this
Need to be needed
Need to be noted
Seen as devoted but slipping away
Contentment is calling
But you're busy falling
From heights you've constructed
In fear that you'll always be plain
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Put down those weights
That you've been lugging everywhere
Take hold of grace and find the peace that's there
Come find the peace that's there
Girl, what's this
Need to be needed
Need to be noted
Seen as devoted but slipping away
Contentment is calling
But you're busy falling
From heights you've constructed
In fear that you'll always be plain
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Hey lady, why you running around?
Take a load off, come and sit on down
Hey darling, take a moment and stay
Hey mama, say goodbye to the guilt
If you're empty, then you need to be filled
Hey sister, hustling isn't the way
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Slip off your shoes
You know the tide is coming in
You've got to lose before you get to win
Before you get to win
Relax that stance, ain't no one asking you to fight
It's like romance, you can't always get it right
Can't always get it right
Girl, what's this
Need to be needed
Need to be noted
Seen as devoted but slipping away
Contentment is calling
But you're busy falling
From heights you've constructed
In fear that you'll always be plain
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Put down those weights
That you've been lugging everywhere
Take hold of grace and find the peace that's there
Come find the peace that's there
Girl, what's this
Need to be needed
Need to be noted
Seen as devoted but slipping away
Contentment is calling
But you're busy falling
From heights you've constructed
In fear that you'll always be plain
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
Hey lady, why you running around?
Take a load off, come and sit on down
Hey darling, take a moment and stay
Hey mama, say goodbye to the guilt
If you're empty, then you need to be filled
Hey sister, hustling isn't the way
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living
Stare those standards down
Stare them into the ground
You don't need them in the life you're living
Come tell me who you are
Where you're falling apart
We can talk of the life you're living now
