Indigo Girls
"Thin Line"

Words and Music: Gerard McHugh

I thought the time was passed when I could find beauty in the birds
I set the stage and the scenery rehearsing every word
Yeah
But when I tried to make it more it was always less
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Alright

With my confidence on fire (my confidence on fire) I set to fixin' up my roles
My separation of desires (oooh separation of desire) just left me deeper down in
the hole
Yeah
When I tried to make it more it was always less
And there's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
And when I tried to make it more it was always less
It's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
Yeah oh yeah 
Alright

Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be
Hoping to God that I was just a temporary absentee
Yeah
When I tried to make it more it was always less
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
When I tried to make it more it was always less (I'd try to make it more it was
less)
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else
Oh yeah oh yeah
Alright
