Just Smart Enough to Know I'm Not Smart Enough (version 3)

[Verse 1] I bought a book with a broken spine Read the first page, called it a sign The professor sighed, the bell rang twice I made one guess and called it advice [Pre-Chorus] I can count the holes in every plan Still lose my keys inside my hand [Chorus] I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough Just sharp enough to feel when the edges get rough I can name every trap, but I step in the same Raise my hand with a grin, forget what I came I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough And that’s plenty to keep me awake when it’s tough [Verse 2] The mechanic showed me what I’d done I blamed the weather, I blamed the sun My neighbor’s dog knows more than me It watches traffic like philosophy [Pre-Chorus] I make a map, then miss the train Write down the cure, forget the name [Chorus] I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough Just sharp enough to feel when the edges get rough I can name every trap, but I step in the same Raise my hand with a grin, forget what I came I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough And that’s plenty to keep me awake when it’s tough [Bridge] Give me a minute, give me a chair Give me the answer written somewhere I’ll lose the paper, misread the clue Then tell the truth like I always do [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough Still loud enough to sing when the going gets rough I can name every trap, but I step in the same Raise my hand with a grin, forget what I came I’m just smart enough to know I’m not smart enough But I’m wise enough to laugh when I’m calling your bluff [Outro] Not smart enough Still showing up Not smart enough That’s good enough
