Quick, Brain

Traffic lights give me time
To relive my entire life
Reciting words I wish I had
Instead of all the things I said
License plate, you read my lips
Just telling it like it is
Every night another chance
To get it right and hit the gas

Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would a human say?
Quit it, heart
We don't want
You getting in the way
But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right, stay quiet

Telephone, you're startling
Don't want to know who's calling in
Anxiety is on the line
Waiting for a reason why
Dial tone
Hold my breath
Just let me know when they've left
It's way too late to give a fuck
But I just can't hang it up

Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would a human say?
Quit it, heart
We don't want
You getting in the way
But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right after all

The more I think,
The less I'm feeling anything
The more I speak,
The less I'm saying anything

Quick, brain
Think, brain
What would the real me say?
Quick, heart
Kickstart
You better lead the way
Quick, brain
Think, brain
Quick, heart
Kick start
You better lead the way

But you try
Still you try
And you try
Though you might be right after all
