lyrics

the seat of your pants

by chris barron

you’ll wake up before the dawn
yesterday will be gone
and you’ll realize
everything you thought was wrong
with your star behind a cloud
your critics will be loud
and you’ll have to sell
your pretty soul for a song

pick yourself up by the seat of the pants
and ask yourself to dance
‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re
young enough to get a second chance

when the lark is on the thorn
you’ll be tossed from horn to horn
awake enough
to rue the day you were born
and you’ll reach for the morning star
from so far below the bar
your fingertips
so close and yet so far

pick yourself up by the seat of the pants
and ask yourself to dance
‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re
young enough to get a second chance

it’s easy to fly when you’re already falling
is that the wolf at the door or the sirens calling
to low to crawl, to black to be blue
back to the wall, nothing left to do

pick yourself up by the seat of the pants
and ask yourself to dance
‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re
young enough to get a second chance

pick yourself up by the seat of the pants
and ask yourself to dance
‘cause you’re old enough to know that you’re
young enough to get a second chance
