Lyrics: The Compromise

you - you think it's cool to be crazy
i say "you want risks? take risks."
there's not point in taking chances,
and me, i wouldn't call it a sophomore slump
no, i'd say i'm one step closer to being
just where i want to be
away from this scene
away from this machine, alright
so meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise

step one: find a partner grab a pen
and don't you dare ask questions
just sign on the dotted line
step two(oo-oo) your partner behind a desk
where they'll do absolutely do nothing
so it's your job to dance and smile
the whole time

don't call it a trend
cause its the only way we think to get ahead
so meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise
there's no sense in complaining
if it doesn't change our minds
well, take me by the hand, let's compromise

i can't feel your feet touching mine
if you can't dance there's someone else in line
so meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise
there's no sense in complaining
if it doesn't change our minds
well, take me by the hand, let's compromise
