[Verse 1]
We can wait for the perfect moment
But I say we're in it
And I'll take all the punches I'm thrown
If it's what I should do, do, do
I want to be good
But saying I do doesn't make it true

[Pre-Chorus]
As if repeating my questions
And shrugging off suggestions
Ever got me far

[Chorus]
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you've got something missing
You probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I've got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true

[Verse 2]
Courage is an acquired trait
So we've got to admit that
We appreciate gained strengths
But now we're not nice to look at
I've always thought that I knew
But saying I do, doesn't make it true
[Pre-Chorus]
As if excusing my actions
And well-timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far

[Chorus]
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you've got something missing
You probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I've got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true

[Bridge]
My problem: sinned enough for a lifetime
Take him to the lake it'll drown him
Like I never found him
So I can't apologize
Especially not when I know that it's alright
I can trust myself
To be playin' em carefully
Why do I think I'm always right?

[Pre-Chorus]
As if excusing my actions
And well-timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far
No it never got me far
[Chorus]
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you've got something missing
You probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I've got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true
