lyrics

Someone wants to be who they are
They've felt this way but tried to pretend
Try not to think it bizarre
Their life boat they now will upend
Changes in the air upend
Love is unaware upend

Someone wants to be who they were
Their old lives were not enough fun
Partners are forced to concur
Once transformation's begun
Changes in the air begun
Love is unaware begun

If yr in disagreement the problem is you
For leaning towards clear cut design
It's best to say nothing than
Proceed out of tune
Let's all cheer for blurring the lines

Future has a ledger of names
Of those who now long to turn back
To views that are now out of frame
And notebooks of code they might crack
Changes in the air might crack
Love is unaware might crack

If yr in disagreement the problem is you
You're apparently way out of touch
It's best to say nothing than
Proceed out of tune
It's best to just keep our mouths shut
