Umphrey’s McGee
The Linear
[Verse 1]
Caught in the moment, it's never easy to decide
When you notice in the back that the answer's there
And the quicker that you think, it means the less you're aware
The minute you chose him, it's always easy to forget
That you only live once, better get it quick
Yes, an admission is you never even stopped to think
But nobody told you, or at least that's what you said
You've been careless now for way too long
And you're better off admitting when you know that you're wrong
The minute you know this, when you're listening out of time
You get stuck on things that you can't subtract
If it were up to me, then you could take it all back

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Am I imposing? I'm only trying to be sincere
I got a little more now, than I had before
If you'd take it all back, I'd still have more
Though I lucked in the, I know I should shut my mouth
You should always pay attention to the things that you say
Regardless of the meaning of the walls you make
Are you convinced yet? Or are we just wasting air
Yeah, I'm way too tired to sit and reminisce
About the things that I lost, that I don't miss
Back to the moment, in digging deep enough this time
You forget about your future, and your past is spent
You know life is in the living, and it doesn't tense
[Instrumental]
