Lyrics
If it was easy, you would never try
You could be hopeless in the wink of an eye
It could be troublizing
It could be tantalizing
You don't know which or way
It's tattletale gray
And you're backing away
What if you never took along
What if you never could belong
Got your hopes from a silver tray
Got dreams on the ricochet
Oh, no, it leaves you in distress
Oh, no, which button do you press
If it was easy, you would never try
It's all in shambles, but you never say die
It could be troublizing
It could be tantalizing
You don't know which or way
Oh, oh, it leaves you in distress
Oh, oh, which button do you press
What if you never made the switch
What if you never felt the itch
What if you never found the peace
Kept living on a time release
