Close To The Vest

A wider view could make it easier for you
To perform at your best
You've got nothing to do
No one to report to
Except the weight in your chest
And I thank you for reminding me to
Play close to the vest

It feels good to lay on the ground
Cause I muffled the sound of me knowing best
I want to pass the night
With no noise and no light
And get dirt on my dress
Because when the Sun hits my skin
I'll have won
Even if I don't pass every test
I owe you a big thank you
For reminding me to
Play close to the vest

You're egging me on
Just to move me along
Just to get my head below your chest

Thank you
