Danielle Ate The Sandwich Not Easy To Do Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't see no bumper stickers
Braggin' for the honor students
That went to my high school anymore
I'm not tryin' to remember
Where I knew that bartender
Maybe my women's studies class in college
I don't know which direction
To avoid if there's construction
Unfamiliar roads are keepin' me humble

[Chorus]
I just needed something new
Needed a different view
Needed to stretch my arms
Just needed to listen to my heart
'Cause it's not easy to do

[Verse 2]
All these fish seem to be swimmin'
Caught up in thе same direction
Therе's questions for the ones who changed their course
We've all got our motivators
Some of those look good on paper
Others gonna make the neighbors gossip

[Chorus]
Just needed something new
Needed a different view
Needed to stretch my arms
Just needed to listen to my heart
'Cause it's not easy to do

[Bridge]
Well, they talk in their general statements About how you can do anything
You decide to set your mind to
But when you finally do
They don't seem to get it
All they do is ask you
Questions 'bout the budget
They seem a little scared
Of the ones unprepared
But ready to jump off a cliff
To see what happens
'Cause it's not easy to do

[Verse 3]
Somewhere in her sleepin' quarters
With purple velvet blackout curtains
A ceiling full of stars
And all of our mad dreams
The universe is wrappin' presents
In random order, sendin' out her blessings
Givin' back to the kids who ate their soap

[Chorus]
Who just needed something new
Needed a different view
Needed to stretch their arms
Just needed to listen to their heart
Just needed something new
Needed a different view
Needed to stretch my arms
Just needed to listen to my heart
And that's not easy to do
