I like to think out-loud
It makes it easier to pick me out
And I like to breathe in deep
The oxygen, it keeps me busy
It keeps me busy

Why don't you practice what you preach
'Cause I know you don't and it eats at me
Why don't you practice what you preach
'Cause I know you don't and it eats at me, it eats at me, it eats at me

Take time away from work
Set up shop and watch the gears turn
I've always lived on the same street
The lilac bushes always smelled so sweetly
They smelled so sweetly

Why don't you practice what you preach
'Cause I know you don't and it eats at me
Why don't you practice what you preach
'Cause I know you don't and it eats at me, it eats at me, it eats at me

If I gave into this relentless pace of life, how quickly would I die, how quickly would I
And if I gave into this relentless pace of life, how quickly would I die, how quickly would I

Why don't I practice what I preach
'Cause I know I don't and it eats at me
Why don't I practice what I preach
'Cause I know I don't and it eats at me, it eats at me, it eats at me
