WHOA


Whoa I think I'm too quiet for my own good
On a good day you can be misunderstood
On a bad day you can't get it straight
I would give up my serenity to make you groan
Would you give up your wildness
To respect my cautious approach?

Whoa I think i'm too gung-ho for this time and place
On a good day you can't quite articulate
On a bad day you get tired of being polite
I would give up my freedom to hear what you have to say
Would you give up what you're used to
To see what i have to teach?

Whoa I think I'm too honest
Even to a fault
On a good day choice is reveled in not overlooked
On a bad day you get away with murder
I would give up my safety to gain experience
Would you step out of place
To grow with, not against?
