Aj Bridel - Skating By Lyrics

[COLE]
I think it’s time to loosen up your collar
Take a break, you know you’re overdue
And even though I may not be a scholar
I’m about to teach you something new

You tried your best
Every test
But you and I are wearing the exact same vest
If you cruise, you’ll never lose
So just slow down and enjoy the views

Join the revolution
Embrace your true complacency
Hear our constitution
Commit yourself to living life, commit free
It’s truly liberating to just keep skating by

[COLE, spoken]
It’s simple. Just stop caring. About your job, about the girl, evеrything. The less effort you put in, thе greater the return

[TIM, spoken]
But I actually care about those things. You want me to just ignore the girl I’ve liked my whole life? Cole? Hello??

[COLE, spoken]
See what I did there? I made you come to me
[TIM, spoken]
I don’t want to make anyone do anything!

[TIM]
Everything with you’s a competition
You go through life like it’s all fun and games
Every girl is just an acquisition
Can’t bother to remember any names

Cafe Ginge
Tall with fringe
Rich daddy, midnight baddie
Dude, it makes me cringe

It sounds like work to be a jerk
You juggle to see them
I struggle to see how that is carpe diem

Don’t you think that there might be more
Than this rink for you to explore
You’re overcomplicating, try just skating by

[DANCE BREAK]

[COLE]
She could be my Julie C
Standing on the balcony
But her mom will love me, I can guarantee
Then drop her like she Rosaline
Play her like a mandolin
Simply skew her point of view so she can’t see
Defend your right to live your life independently

[CLAIRE]
No more hesitation

[TIM]
It’s time I come right out and say

[COLE]
Build anticipation

[CLAIRE, COLE & TIM]
I will not wait another day

[ENSEMBLE, TIM, CLAIRE]
Join the revolution There might be more He'll give me my first kiss

[ENSEMBLE & COLE]
Reject responsibility

[ENSEMBLE, TIM, CLAIRE]
Make less contribution Than this rink for you to explore Begin our life of bliss
A clause for plausible deniability
[TIM]
It’s truly now or never, man, there’s no debating

[CLAIRE]
Time to take care of yourself, you can’t keep waiting

[COLE]
Life’s exhilarating when you just keep

[ALL]
