The Impression That I Get – The Mighty Mighty Bosstunes.

have you ever been close to tragedy
or been close to folks that had?
have you ever felt a pain so powerful,
so heavy you collapse?

I never had to knock on wood,
but I know someone who has
which makes me wonder if I could.
it makes me wonder if I
never had to knock on wood!
and I’m glad I haven’t yet,
because I’m sure it isn’t good.

that’s the impression that I get.

have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
you need a strength most don’t possess?
or has it ever come down to do or die?
you’ve got to rise above the rest.

I never had to knock on wood,
but I know someone who has
which makes me wonder if I could!
it makes me wonder if I
never had to knock on wood!
and I’m glad I haven’t yet,
because I’m sure it isn’t good.

that’s the impression that I get.

I’m not a coward, I’ve just never been tested.
I’d like to think that if I was, I would pass.
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go.
I might be a coward.
I’m afraid of what I might find out.

I never had to knock on wood,
but I know someone who has
which makes me wonder if I could!
it makes me wonder if I
never had to knock on wood!
and I’m glad I haven’t yet,
because I’m sure it isn’t good.

that’s the impression that I get.

when I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time.
deep inside, it was a rush. what a rush.
cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way
about me?
it’s just too much, just too much

why do I keep running from the truth?
all I ever think about is you!
you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized.
and I’ve just got to know

do you ever think
when you’re all alone
all that we could be?
where this thing could go?
am I crazy or falling in love?
is it really just another crush?
do you catch a breath when I look at you?
are you holding back like the way I do?
cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
but I know this crush ain’t going away..

has it ever crossed your mind
when we’re hanging, spending time?
girl, are we just friends?
is there more, is there more?
see it’s a chance we’ve gotta take
cause I believe that we can make this
into something that’ll last, last forever.

if it’s really over, and there’s nothing I can say
I’ll do my best to hide the pain and turn and walk away.
but do me one last favor and pretend you’re hurting too.
after all we’ve been through, it’s the least that you can do.

I don’t know any reason we should let the whole town know
which one of us came up with this plan for letting go.
try to leave me just a little pride to get me through.
after all I gave you, it’s the least that you can do.

when you run into our old friends, could you ask em how I’ve been?
and maybe even muster up a teardrop now and then.
if they ask you how you’re doing, what’s it really gonna hurt
to tell a little lie, and do your best to look your worst?

keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall.
and leave at least one picture of me somewhere on your wall.
could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool?
after all, it seems like it’s the least that you can do.

oh I know, it won’t be long till someone else is loving you
and waking up in your arms just the way that I used to.
promise me at least one time, you’ll call ‘em by my name
and when I’m with somebody new, I’ll try to do the same.

if someone ever asks you why we went our separate ways,
“we were just too much in love” might be the thing to say
or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you
after all I gave you, it’s the least that you can do.

if the shoe were on the other foot, I’d do the same for you.
hey, after all we’ve been through, it’s the least that you can do
