Verse 1
Write It All Down, The Afternoon Beer
The Bread And The Egg, The Tuna I Seared
Did I Stay Up Late? My Childhood Bedtime
Still Resonates In The Joints Of My Spine
The Drawings I Made, The Lunches I Paid
And All The Things I Didn't Do 'Cause I Was Afraid
Grinding My Teeth, The Doctor Says
"That's Just The Way You Deal With Your Stress"
Chorus
Write It All Down, Every Fear
This Is What Brought Me Here
Make It All Work, The Passion, The Pain
The Throwaway Lines And The Constant Refrain
Verse 2
Write It All Down, The Sunburn I Got
Falling Asleep On The Slide At The Tot Lot
Every Grade, The Groundwork I Laid
My Bed's Never Made And I've Never Prayed
We've All Made Mistakes, As Our Strength Is Tested (Write It All Down)
Some Go Unnoticed, Some Get Us Arrested (Every Fear)
And When You Call Home, There's No Easy Way (This Is What Brought Me Here)
Turns Out, There Are Some Things You Should Never Say (Never Say)
Chorus
Write It All Down (Write It All Down), Every Fear (Every Fear)
This Is What Brought Me Here
It Isn't All Good, It Just Isn't Clear
Which Ways I Should And Shouldn't Have Steered
So When I'm 35, And I've Made A Good Life
Will I Li------Ie Awake?
Verse 3
And If I Had Gone To The Conservatory
Would The Lessons I Learned Do Magic For Me?
When I Sing This Song, Would It Soar Without Flaw?
Would I Find These Words? Would That Skill Be Gone?
There's Always A Form, A War And A Peace
A Dominant Chord, A Tension, And A Release
Chorus
Write It All Down (Write It All Down), Every Fear (Every Fear)
This Is What Brought Me Here
Now I Laugh In The Dark, Now I Own And Respect
Everything I've Survived In Retrospect
We're About Nine, And The Monsters Appear
And We Li------Ie Awake
With A Beautiful Fear
