Lyrics
[Verse 1] You can't take the strain, the worries, they have wore on you But it's alright to blame, you have every right to Mother, will they press, press on you to take the slack? 'Cause he's your trouble now There's no sneaking out through the cracks—Oh...

[Chorus] Matty, there's no excuse for thinking the world's gonna turn for you But I say, if no one's looking, then it's okay

[Verse 2] The giving and the take, the straw that broke the camel's back We were in the way of an old man's broken past While he longed for the old, life stuck him deep in the brand new Oh, he knew

[Chorus] Matty, there's no excuse for thinking the world's gonna turn for you But I say, hey! If no one's looking, then it's okay

[Bridge] Oh, we'll work this out, we'll work it out We'll work this out Life has a funny way of taking everything And leaving nothing

[Chorus] Matty, there's no excuse for thinking the world's gonna turn for you But I say, if no one's looking, then it's okay—Oh! Matty, there's no excuse for thinking the world's gonna turn for you But I say, hey! If no one's looking, then it's okay Matty, there's no excuse for thinking the world's gonna turn for you But I say, hey, I love you anyway
