Truly Great Thing - Sebadoh

Make it easy and I’ll hold it against you

I’m on a string dangled right in front of you

Make it hard and I’ll run away

Keep tomorrow as I kill today

Trying to figure just what I deserve

Slashing lines all across the earth

Patience only makes the dream come true

Everything I see, I hold to you

Tell me, this is it, the truly great thing

The love you’ve hoped to find

Any doubt will simply wipe itself out

As we’re rising deeper the first and last time

Lift me up and drop me down again

Every day I feel confusion, pain

And love is what we’ve all been waiting for

Something powerful to smash it all apart

Can’t love if you’re locked up tight

The dream of perfection, nothing ever seems right

All the world will tell you, you’re all wrong

Big, big deal if you’re wrong

This is it, the truly great thing

The love you’ve hoped to find

And any doubt will simply wipe itself out

To rising deeper the first and last time
