Chris Thile Lyrics
"Ready For Anything"

I forget the difference
Between being in love and being familiar
It's something I hope I'm above

Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel
When you're half-awake
No mistake is impossible

I'm a child again
Lost and happy in make-believe
But I'm lazy now
So someon'es pretending for me.

An untouchable man who holds his hand out to millions
Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains

I spend a lot of time watching my TV
I take what they give me, and I give them nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV
They've got me right where they want me
Ready for anything

I forget the difference
Between being loved and being a loose-pocket
Worn-wallet, short-sighted
Friend to lift money off of

Maybe I'm playing their game
So I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig one day
Tell 'em they can go to Hell
'Cause they don't know another way

Or maybe I'm here 'cause it's something to do
You know still waters can run shallow too
I can watch myself run dry

I spend a lot of time watching my TV
I take what they give me, and I give them nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV
They've got me right where they want me
Ready for anything

I forget the difference between being alive
And living through somebody else
Who's acting out somebody else's life
