Righting The Writ by Tawny Peaks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's leap away
Let's do what's best and test the waters
A double play
A deal that benefits both heart and brain

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you explain
How your paintings always come out perfect?
In return I'll show you
How to sing those songs you always strain

[Chorus]
We'll sing them softly, and then we'll sing 'em loud
I know there are times when the words escape me
But I can't forget them now

[Post-Chorus]
I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
What a way we've memorized
[Verse 2]
Still I'm steered by my bad habits
And I've had it up to here
With a heart that bows before the brain

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you explain
How your paintings always come out perfect?
In return I'll show you
How to sing those songs you always strain

[Chorus]
We'll sing them softly, and then we'll sing 'em loud
I know there are times when the words escape me
But I can't forget them now

[Post-Chorus]
I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
What a way we've memorized
I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
What a way we've memorized

[Outro]
I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
Proof those parts we've memorized
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
What we spell should be written well
And I'd rather write than fight
