[Verse 1]
Please come quickly
Oh, once you've finished what you're working on
I'm at the lower end of urgent
But it's enough to make me come undone
Oh, I'm a bird
I don't know how to fly
Just trying to make it to the other side

[Chorus]
And all my ideas could be good ideas
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf
When all of my fears are surrounded by fear
It's hard to get a grip on myself

[Verse 2]
Oh, don't let it haunt you
It can be a good thing, don't you know
Oh, with a back step, you can see more
There could be another way to go
Just keep your eye on the prize
Until something pretty walks by

[Chorus]
And all my ideas could be good ideas
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf
When all of my fears are surrounded by fear
It's hard to get a grip on myself

[Bridge]
Maybe I was born at the wrong time
Maybe the world is just too fast for me
Oh, I need a light, some kind of beacon
But even that won't be enough for me
I want to breathe and release
Feel the air flowing past my teeth
Just breathe and release
I got my whole damn life to find that missing piece

[Chorus]
And all my ideas could be good ideas
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf
When all of my fears are surrounded by fear
It's hard to get a grip on myself
And all my ideas could be good ideas
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf
When all of my fears are surrounded by fear
It's hard to get a grip on myself
And all my ideas could be good ideas (No, I won't settle)
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf (For anything less than love)
When all of my fears are surrounded by fear (No, I won't settle)
It's hard to get a grip on myself (For anything less than love)
And all my ideas could be good ideas (No, I won't settle)
I'm just trying to stay away from the shelf (For anything less than love)
[Outro]
No, I won't settle
For anything less than love
