Chris Thile - Ready For Anything lyrics

I forget the difference between being in love And being familiar There's something I hope I'm above Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel When you're half-awake no mistake is impossible I'm a child again Lost and happy in make-believe But I'm lazy now So someone's pretending for me An untouchable man Who holds his hand out to millions Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains I spend a lot of time watching my TV I take what they give me and I give them nothing But I waste a lot of time watching my TV Got me right where they want me Ready for anything I forget The difference between being loved And being a loose-pocket, worn-wallet, short-sighted friend to lift money off of Maybe I'm playing their game So I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig one day Tell 'em they can go to Hell 'Cause they don't know another way Or maybe I'm here 'cause it's something to do You know still waters can run shallow too I could watch myself run dry So I spend a lot of time watching my TV And I take what they give me and I give them nothing But I waste a lot of time watching my TV Got me right where they want me Ready for anything I forget The difference between being alive And living through somebody else Acting out somebody else's life
