What to Do
Noah T Lyrics

There's a pleasure
There is a kind of joy that is essential to every human being.

We must all feel
Everyone should experience this joy at least once in their lifetime.

And it's a pleasure I know
The singer of the song has experienced this joy before.

Of losing your heart
The joy comes from giving yourself completely to someone else.

And then letting love grow
The joy is in watching that love grow and develop into a deeper connection.

What can I say
The singer is trying to express something complicated.

Any simpler
Is there a simpler way to say it that would be easier to understand?

That now is all there is
The present is the only moment that matters.

That you're free to be any person
You can be whoever you want to be, without worrying about what others think.

And you're all that you give
Your worth comes from what you give to others.

'Cause my bones were made in the womb
The singer is reflecting on their mortality, and the fact that our physical bodies are temporary.

And now the brains are leaving my tomb
As we age, our mental faculties may start to deteriorate.

And every piece will be consumed
Eventually, our entire being will be consumed by something greater than ourselves.

By the love my heart endured
The singer hopes that the consuming force will be the love they have experienced in life.

But if you do
If you can do something.

What you do
Something that you're naturally inclined to do.

Yeah, you'll do fine
You'll be okay if you just stick to what you're good at.

Oh, and when love comes a-calling
When you fall in love.

Don't forget the tune
Remember the feeling of that joy and hold onto it as you navigate the relationship.

And just do what you do
Be yourself.

Oh, and the ones who taught you how to live
The people who raised you and shaped your world view.

Oh, they know no more than you
Even though they may have more life experience, they don't necessarily know what's best for you.

So if you trust what's in your heart
If you listen to your own instincts and desires.

Oh, what better can you do
There's nothing better you can do than be true to yourself.

Than if you do what you do
Stick to what you're good at and what feels natural to you.

Yeah, you'll do fine
You'll be okay in the end.
