I'm trying to get a message through to you
If you're not capable of listening right now
Take a Time out
Take a walk outside
When you come back
Keep your ears wide open
Cause I'm trying to get a message through to you.
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
Cause it's the only life I got
And I don't wanna spend my days
And I don't wanna share my grace
With somebody who tells me to Can it
Oh I'm trying to separate what's important
From the shallow narrow hollow hews of life
But if you listen, you won't be missing out
Keep your head on, and your mind wide open
Cause I'm trying to separate what's important
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
Cause it's the only life I got
And I don't wanna spend my days
And I don't wanna share my grace
With somebody who tells me to Can it
Oh I can, and I will
Be at my best with you
But not if you tell me I cannot
But not if you tell me to Can it Yeeeah Yeah
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
If you tell me to Can it
I say I cannot
Cause it's the only life I got
And I don't wanna spend my days
And I don't wanna share my grace
With somebody who tells me to Can it
No I don't wanna spend my days
And I don't wanna share my grace
With somebody who tells me to Can it
