The Linear
UMPHREY’S McGEE Lyrics

Caught in the moment
Being so deeply engrossed in the current moment that it's difficult to make a choice.

Its never easy to decide
Making a decision is usually a hard thing to do.

When you know the simple fact
The answer or solution seems so obvious.

Is that the answers there
You already know the answer to your problem or question.

And the quicker that you think
The faster you try to solve the problem, the more difficult it can become.

It means the less you're aware
Being in a rush can cause you to miss important details and lower your awareness.

The minute your chosen
Once you make a decision or pick a choice.

Its always easy to forget
It's easy to forget the options you didn't choose.

That you only live once
You only have one life to live.

Better get it quick
It's important to act fast if you want to achieve your goals.

The solution is
The answer or solution is:

You never really stop to think
You can overlook important details by acting too fast.

Nobody told you
No one informed you of this.

Or at least thats what you said
At least that's what you believe.

You've been careless now
You've been reckless or inattentive in your actions.

For way too long
For a very long time.

And you're better off admitting
You'll feel better if you confess.

When you know that you're wrong
When you realize or accept that you made a mistake.

Didn't you know this
Were you not aware of this before?

Or were you listening
Were you paying attention when someone told you?

Out of time
There's no more time left.

You've been stuck on things
You've been fixated or obsessed with certain things.

That you can't subtract
Things that you can't remove or change.

If it were up to me
If it were my choice or decision.

Than you could take it all backbackback
Then you would be able to undo all the things that have happened.

Am I imposing
Am I interfering with your thoughts or actions.

I'm only trying to be sincere
I'm only trying to be honest and genuine.

I've got a little bit more now
I have more knowledge, experience or material possessions.

Than I had before
Compared to what I had before.

And if you take it all back
And if you could undo everything.

Then I'd still have more
I'd still have more than you.

But reluctantly
But with hesitation or reluctance.

I know I should shut
I know I should stop talking.

My mouth
Speaking or saying anything.

You should always pay attention
You should always be aware or mindful.

To the things you say
To the words that come out of your mouth.

Regardless of the meaning
Even if the words you say don't have a specific meaning.

Words will always remain
Words will always be remembered or stay with you.

Are you convinced yet
Are you sure or convinced about something?

Or are we just wasting air
Or are we just talking with no purpose.

'cause I'm way too tired to
Because I'm too exhausted or weary to.

Sit and reminisce
Sit and think about past events, often with nostalgia.

About the things I've lost
About things I no longer have.

That I still miss
That I still long for or feel nostalgic about.

Back in the moment
Back to being in the current moment.

We're digging deep enough
We're analyzing or contemplating the situation deeply enough.

This time
This specific moment or instance.

Forget about your future
Stop worrying or thinking about what is yet to come.

Let the past dispense
Let go of the past and leave it behind.

You know, life is only living
Life only exists in the present moment.

In the present tense
Right now, in this current moment.
