From Dusk till Don Knotts Lyrics

The give and take that helps us make it through the day

That rarely feels like a square trade

That gentle pull of the rug, simple sleight of hand

Some grains of sand will shape these lands into things of wonderment

While some just level out the low spots in the yard

People say that life's a bitch

And we should make arrangements for it

At least the way we navigate harsh water

And I know no shop floats forever

They're caught beneath the waves or dry-docked away

Some choices are hard but they're ours to make

Just try keeping in mind all that's at stake

While bending out of shape til we break

It's hard enough when your heart starts calling your bluff

And the suffering is sincere

You're feeling stuck and you're not sure which way is up

But it'll all come clear in the end

So for now just pretend

You've got problems, I've got mine

But I'll make time if you make time

We can fight these demons off with both our hands tied

Complacency collects like dust

But I can trust if you can trust

That all we need is still within us

We don't need reason or wishful thinking

Just a sledge and a wedge to tear the whole thing down

All things being equal

No sequels and no reprise

When the sting subsides we'll be at peace with our lives
