Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – Limits

Today, is not the day
To get it done, or not to get it done
Today, I heard you say
That maybe it’s OK

Hold on to your armrest
Don’t be alarmed I’m gonna do my best
Cause it’s a long haul and I’m in this
Once in a while I exceed the posted limits

Did you hear?
Was there a cheer?
Did it still make a sound, though I was not around?
Despite the tears, we made it here
But maybe that’s the fear
Did it seem insincere?

Hold on to your armrest
Don’t be alarmed I’m gonna do my best
Cause it’s a long haul and I’m in this
Once in a while I exceed the posted limits

You do your best to deal with everything life throws
But diving in blind headfirst is a great way to break your nose
Everybody says, «everybody knows»
But knowing won’t amount to much when pushing comes to blows

Hold on to your armrest
Don’t be alarmed I’m gonna do my best
Cause it’s a long haul and I’m in this
Once in a while I exceed the posted limits
