Speak Up - Umphrey's McGee, Joshua Redman

So my conscience said, «Don't you ever think that you’re asking for too much?»

Yeah I know right now that I got more than enough

Keep it off the record 'cause that’s no crime

Yeah keeps me honest, well most of the time

Every little thing about myself that I come to dread

Every little thing, every little thing, every little

It all becomes a permanent part of me instead

Ooh, maybe you’re right, this time I should stay

Ooh, tell me why you think that I should meet you halfway

Ooh, tell me what you want, tell me what you really want

What do you really want from me

Ooh, 'cause I don’t think it’s right, you say it’s a waste of time

That’s not the way it’s supposed to be

And all those words that nobody heard and you wish that you had said

There was never a time, never a place

I never really had anything worth saying

It’s like every little song you heard in your head and you wish you had sung

It’s singing «ooo la la, yeah, I’m still stepping underneath your toes»

Ooh, maybe you’re right, this time I should stay

Ooh, tell me why you think that I should meet you halfway

Ooh, tell me what you want, tell me what you really want

What do you really want from me

Ooh, cause I don’t think it’s right, you say it’s a waste of time

That’s not the way it’s supposed to be

Speak up, speak up

You better tell me now please and I won’t betray if you got something to say

you gotta say it right now

Can you tell me now please and I won’t betray if you got something to say you

gotta say it right now
