Now You Get the Picture

There’s something wrong… Something’s missing… I long to know the answers to my prayers I’m sorry for being those “disobeyers” There’s something wrong with this picture You make me feel slightly unsure Our upcoming future is quite a blur Quite a blur There’s a flawless tune to your song Do you get the picture? X4 There’s nothing wrong with you Maybe it’s the things that you do Do you get the clue? You get the clue? I’m sorry that you’re feeling awfully blue Terribly blue…that’s how I feel – nothin’ new! Sucks to be blue Sucks to live with that condition It sucks to be that way too The truth will set you free they say Honesty hurts and someone has to mess up your day Mess up your day As if you’re nothing, but dirt on the ground But, you get the picture, right? You get the picture tonight Bite the bullet (Oooh x5) Bite the bullet See right through it See right through my pain And I’m still waitin’ for your rain To fall down on me gracefully (Let me be…set me free…x2) You get the picture You’re positively sure Our mysterious future is still unknown to me Unknown to me There’s a tranquil tune to your song Do you get the picture? X4 There’s nothing wrong with you Maybe it’s the things that you do Do you get the clue? You get the clue? I’m sorry that you’re feeling awfully blue Terribly blue…that’s how I feel – nothin’ new! Sucks to be blue Sucks to live with that condition It sucks to be that way too The truth will set you free they say Well, I believe the grass is wilder on the other side There’s too many weeds growing there – let’s abide By His side for a change…don’t drift away or subside From His maze of marvelous miracles Honesty hurts and someone has to mess up your day Mess up your day As if you’re nothing, but dirt on the ground But, you get the picture, right? You get the picture tonight Good thing you got the picture tonight! You’re melting in shame… This shame has no good label…no good name… I need to win this game… Driven away from the disdain Drive away the freezing rain Priceless determination drenches my body with sweat I must be tired, but vigilant like a security guard I bet You get the picture? x2 Did you figure out the riddle? I hope you get the picture someday! I should have known you were not the kind of person Who accepts change easily!! You’re scorching ice and I’m freezing fire Take my advice and you’ll soon find your desire I’m not a liar…this passion will never tire Do you get the picture now?
