I thought the time was passed when I could find beauty in the birds
  I set the stage and the scenery rehearsing every word
  Yeah
  But when I tried to make it more it was always less
  And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
  Oh yeah, oh yeah
  Alright
  
  With my confidence on fire (my confidence on fire) I set to fixin' up my roles
  My separation of desires (oooh separation of desire) just left me deeper down in the hole
  Yeah
  When I tried to make it more it was always less
  And there's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
  And when I tried to make it more it was always less
  It's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
  Yeah oh yeah
  Alright
  
  Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be
  Hoping to God that I was just a temporary absentee
  Yeah
  When I tried to make it more it was always less
  And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
  When I tried to make it more it was always less (I'd try to make it more it was less)
  And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
  Oh yeah oh yeah
  Alright
