Relate from Bare Bones by Nicky Nieling

Relate
Written and recorded by Nicky Nieling


Well if I can't relate,
Oh neither can you.
It's a long explanation maybe not the logic you'd use.

It's the things that happen to me,
It's the things that happen to you.
If you can't relate to me, I can't relate to you.

So many details, to the things we do.
So many differences between me and you.
It's hard not to compare,
Oh don't you dare.

I've seen bumps in the road,
and I know you have to.
We've both had setbacks,
that's nothing new.

Life goes on, and the world it turns.
Always a new set of concerns.

It's time to make some decisions,
Let's see what happens.
Life's too short, let's move along,
Life's too short before the gettins are gone.

Time to put the judgements aside,
Let's enjoy each other for a while.
Silly old grudge, about nothing much,
Doesn't change who I cherish or love.

But if I can't relate,
Oh neither can you.
It's a long explanation maybe not the logic you'd use.

It's the things that happen to me,
It's the things that happen to you.
If you can't relate to me, I can't relate to you.
