Is it cause it takes me a lot to be agitated It’s so naive to see that as a weakness A mellow demeanor, an even exterior Do you know the work it takes to have this attitude? I won’t yell to be heard, 'cause that's so much easier I will exercise restraint to find a better you I look around and I see you, friend You’ve got a lot on your mind A lot on your mind and I don’t know if you know it or not but I’m Gonna get through to you Take all of your nagging fears as you go I know you wanted me to come along I left earlier so you wouldn’t see me go I can’t pretend that that’s where I belong With you, bored and low A mellow demeanour, an even exterior Do you know the work it takes to have this attitude?
