To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice,
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me,
“Always love? Hate will get you every time.
Always love? Don't wait ‘til the finish line.”
Slow demands come 'round,
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out,
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out.
But always love? Hate will get you every time.
Always love? Even when you wanna fight?
Self-directed lives,
I want to know what it'd be like to
Aim so high above,
Any card that you've been dealt, you…
Always love? Hate will get you every time.
Always love? Hate will get you.
I've been held back by something,

You said?
Hey, you good ones,
Hey, you good ones!
