Nicely Played

(album: Landline - 2012)

I'll add it up again but something is missing
Too many times around, it's making me dizzy
Gotta figure out a way to get past this someday
But for now it stays

Rope in only those that can pull you up
Cut loose the ones just beneath you, nicely played
While you save your face, while you justify
Your subtractive place and tag the wings that pass through your sky

On your way up, I'll try to forget it happened
On your way down, you'll try to forget it happened

The folks blowing up your head, I think you believe it
I tried all awhile but I couldn't take it
Gotta figure out a way to get past this someday
But for now it stays

Rope in only those that can pull you up
Cut loose the ones just beneath you, nicely played
While you save your face, while you justify
Your subtractive place and tag the wings that pass through your sky

On your way up, I'll try to forget it happened
On your way down, you'll try to forget it happened
On your way up, I'll try to forget it happened
On your way down, you'll try to forget it happened

While you save your face, while you justify
Your subtractive place and tag the wings that pass through your sky

On your way up, I'll try to forget it happened
On your way down, you'll try to forget it happened
On your way up, I'll try to forget it happened
On your way down, you'll try to forget it happened

On your way down, on your way down
On your way down, on your way down
