Vigilance

Look what I've done
I've gone and said too much
I should've kept my mouth shut
Then I wouldn't have to scramble to fix this
What was I thinking
Was I allowing my mind to lie fallow
Or was I obsessing
Did I let my heart get carried away

Keep vigilant watch over your heart
That's where life starts
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth
Avoid careless banter, white lies and gossip

Stuck on repeat
Like maybe my mind might be broken
I'm off on a tangent again
How could I have said that better
What was I thinking
Was I guarding my heart with all wisdom
Or was I distracted
Did I let my lips get carried away

Keep vigilant watch over your heart
That's where life starts
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth
Avoid careless banter, white lies and gossip

Keep vigilant watch over your heart
That's where life starts
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth
Avoid careless banter, white lies and gossip

Its easy to let it all out
Its wiser to keep a guard on your mouth
Its easy to let it all out
Its wiser to keep a guard on your mouth
Its easy to let it all out
Its wiser to keep a guard on your mouth
Its easy to let it all out
Let it all out, let it all out

Keep vigilant watch over your heart
That's where life starts
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth
Avoid careless banter, white lies and gossip

Keep vigilant watch over your heart
That's where life starts
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth
Avoid careless banter, white lies and gossip
