Clip Art Rose (Laugh Lines Live) Lyrics

Even though you know

That's not where your heart should go

You superimpose it

Like a clip-art rose

There's that glint in your eyes

So fixated on that prize

That'll never materialize

Like how you had in mind

Like a square peg in a round hole

Sometimes it just doesn't mesh into the fold

So you pull it back, but like a finger trap

If you'd just let it loose

You'd let it free like you're s'posed to

'Cause when it's contrived

It just doesn't feel right

Just sit tight, let it ride

Let it be what it needs to be

When it feels forced, it comes off coarse

Though the words don't come so easily

But it's taking shape to

Make it okay soon

Even though you know

That's not where your heart should go

You superimpose it

Like a clip-art rose

There's that glint in your eyes

So fixated on that prize

That'll never materialize

Like how you had in mind

'Cause when it's contrived

It just doesn't feel right

Just sit tight, let it ride

Let it be what it needs to be

When it feels forced, it comes off coarse

Though the words don't come so easily

But it's taking shape to

Make it okay soon

Even though you know

That's not where your heart should go

You superimpose it

Like a clip-art rose

There's that glint in your eyes

So fixated on that prize

That'll never materialize

Like how you had in mind
