Take 21

[Chorus]
Maybe it's me, but it seems kinda humbling
How we lay concrete but can't keep it from crumbling
Call me naïve, but you got me wondering
Why we got two good feet but prefer to keep stumbling

Maybe it's me, but it seems kinda humbling
How we lay concrete but can't keep it from crumbling
Call me naïve, but you got me wondering
Why we got two good feet but prefer to keep stumbling

[Verse 1]
Hey, stop—look both ways
Before crossing your heart at the end of the day
It's not that we don't know that crime pays
It's that someone else is cast as the criminal
(She can't be talking about us; she's talking about them)
'Causе, baby, you never killed nobody
(No mattеr the mark, she must be trying to condemn)
Go on, say that I am

[Chorus]
Maybe it's me, but it seems kinda humbling
How we lay concrete but can't keep it from crumbling
Call me naïve, but you got me wondering
Why we got two good feet but prefer to keep stumbling

[Verse 2]
Enough—you're raising a glass
To stocking up on sympathy and hoping it lasts
Mine's up for some people of the past
But I'd much rather toast it to all of you
(She really needs to give it a rest, take life as it comes.)
'Cause you're one of the good people, right?
(Gather 'round and give it our best; we'll get this done.)
But it's take twenty-one

[Chorus]
Maybe it's me, but it seems kinda humbling
How we lay concrete but can't keep it from crumbling
Call me naïve, but you got me wondering
Why we got two good feet but prefer to keep stumbling
