i thought the time was passed when i could
find beauty in a birds
i set the stage and the scenery
rehearsing every word

yeah but when i tried to make it more
well it was always less
and it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
and pleasing somebody else
oh yeah
oh yeah
all right
with my confidence on fire
i set to fixin' up my roles
my separation of desires
just left me deeper down in the hole
yeah when i tried to make it more
well it was always less
and it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
and pleasing somebody else
yeah and when i tried to make it more
well it was always less
it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
and pleasing somebody else
now i'm tryin to get back
to what i know that i should be
hoping to God that i was just
a temporary absentee
yeah when i tried to make it more
well it was always less
it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
and pleasing somebody else
yeah when i tried to make it more
well it was always less
and it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
and pleasing somebody else
somebody else oh yeah
oh yeah
all right
