An Exercise

[Verse 1]

Learning there's nothing to gain from advice (Ah-ah-ah)

Hey doubt, come on around any time (Ah-ah)

Anyhow, mistakes are what lead you through life

Down and out's only if you think up and in's right

[Verse 2]

I've gone along with the sins that are versions of you (Ah-ah-ah)

But guidelines were all I had time to get through (Ah-ah)

It's like reading of love that's gone wrong

If time was laid out like that, everything would occur at once

[Bridge]

And all the laws were laid down twice

And the clouds were doubled in the sky

And being tall meant lacking height

And bein' wrong meant bein' right

[Verse 3]

You're perfect, you fit snuggly right in the lie (Ah-ah-ah)

One host is going to teach how to die (Ah-ah)

Lay down, the darkness tonight is so bright

Reasons, there's one for each time cars collide

[Outro]

I hear that telling moments divide

And the only important moments are the in-between times

And being confused is an exercise

I'm missing your thoughts tonight

But we reach out to what's out of our sight

I'm missing your thoughts tonight

But we reach out to what's out of our sight
