Whenever You See Fit
Modest Mouse & 764-Hero Lyrics

You and me, whenever we go wrong
Whenever we make a mistake, we are in it together.

Wake up early and you'll live to regret (Nothing is clear)
If you rush into things without clarity, you risk making a mistake.

And you'll tell it to the telephone (tell the truth)
If you want to share your thoughts, the phone can be a trustworthy confidant if you are honest.

Look whenever you're talking all alone (Whenever you see fit)
Talk when you want to, regardless of whether you have someone to listen or not.

And everything you ever said Wake up early and you'll live to regret it
Be careful what you say, because your words can come back to haunt you.

(Spend some time, whenever you go wrong) Wake up early and you'll live to regret it
Don't rush to fix a mistake because it could lead to more errors. Take the time to reflect and correct.

And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (tell the truth)
If you are not honest with yourself and others, you will have no choice but to live with the consequences.

And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (whenever you see fit)
If you feel compelled to face the truth, do so at a time when you are most comfortable with yourself.

Well, talking on the telephone Looking at yourself like you're all alone (Everything's wrong)
When you are feeling down, there are times when even talking to a friend on the phone can't help you feel better.

Talking like a talking bell You'll go to bed early and you'll talk to your pillow
Sometimes talking to oneself can be comforting like talking to a friend, and is better than feeling lost in thought.

You and me, whenever we see fit Talking on the telephone (Nothing is clear)
We can talk to each other whenever we want, but sometimes things may not be clear even then.

Looking at ourselves like we're all alone And, everything you ever said Wake up early and you'll live to regret
When we are feeling lonely, our past mistakes can haunt us and make us feel worse.

Talking on the telephone Looking like we're all alike, we're all alone (whenever you see fit)
No matter when we feel like talking, it's comforting to know that others often feel the same way.

And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (Everything's clear) And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (Tell the truth)
When things are clear and the truth is exposed, it often leads to regret.

And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (Every once in a while) And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (.. ever said)
Sometimes we don't immediately regret our mistakes, but they can pile up and come back to haunt us.

You'll wake up early again Talking on the phone like your own best friend
When feeling down, sometimes talking to yourself is enough to help you feel better.

Every thought I ever meant I ever did Wake up early and you'll live to regret
Be mindful of your thoughts and actions, for they can lead to regret if not taken seriously.

Well, you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret Yeah...
Regret often starts early in the morning when you realize the mistakes you made the day before.

Now and then, whenever you see fit Nothing is clear Tell the truth Whenever you go wrong Everything's fine
When you feel the need to talk, do so honestly and openly, even if you are unsure, and everything will fall into place eventually.
