Do It Anyway Lyrics - The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind - Ben Folds Five

You might put your love and trust on the line 

It's risky, people love to tear that down, let 'em try 

Do it anyway 

Risk it anyway 

And if you're paralyzed by a voice in your head 

It's the standing still that should be scaring you instead 

Go on and do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

There will be times you might leap before you look 

There'll be times you'll like the cover 

And that's precisely why you'll love the book 

Do it anyway, do it anyway 

Tell me what I said I'd never do 

Tell me what I said I'd never say 

Read me off a list of the things 

I used to not like, but now I think are okay 

Sometimes it's not subjective: wrong and right 

Deep down you know it's downright wrong but you're invincible tonight 

So you, do it anyway 

It's done, you did it 

Despite your grand attempts the chips are set to fall 

And all the stories you might weave cannot negotiate them all 

So do it, anyway 

Be honest, anyway. 

So tell me what I said I'd never do. 

Tell me what I said I'd never say. 

Read me off that list of the things that I used to not like 

but now I think are okay. 

Yea, yea, yea, yea 

Woah, woah, woah, woah 

It's gonna be so very hard to say 

And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face 

But you must do it anyway 

It sucks, but do it anyway 

Call it surrender but you know that that's a joke 

And the punchline is you were actually never in control 

Surrender anyway. 

Tell me what you said you'd never do 

Tell me what you said you'd never say 

Read me off that list of things cause I used to not like you 

Now I think you're okay 

Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway 

Do it anyway (x8) 

Cause you don't do nothing (Do it anyway) 

To avoid self punishment (Do it anyway) 

You won't do nothing (Do it anyway) 

You won't feel nothing (Do it anyway) 

Gotta do it (Do it anyway) 

Do it, do it anyway (Do it anyway) 

Ah (Do it anyway) 

Do it anyway!
