Lyrics Limits - Barenaked Ladies

Limits

Today, is not the day
To get it done, or not to get it done
Today, I heard you say
That maybe it’s OK
If everything looks grey
Hold on to your armrest
Don’t be alarmed I’m gonna do my best
Cause it’s a long haul and I’m in this
Once in a while I exceed the posted limits
Did you hear?
Was there a cheer?
Did it still make a sound, though I was not around?
Despite the tears, we made it here
But maybe that’s the fear
Did it seem insincere?
You do your best to deal with everything life throws
But diving in blind headfirst is a great way to break your nose
Everybody says, «everybody knows»
But «knowing» won’t amount to much when pushing comes to blows
