My Better Judgment

by Painter Fingers

/

about

I wrote this in August 2013 when I was experimenting with a song-a-day project for that month.

This new version was recorded (mostly) in a single session on April 23rd. Parts of the recording process were recorded and posted to social media: instagram.com/painter_fingers

It's about foregoing logic for the sake of romanticism, or something like that.

lyrics

For all my schooling
All my life experience
I'll never understand
The human brain

Sometimes you enumerate
Every reason not to do something
But you go and do it anyway

I don't want my better judgment
If it keeps me from ever loving someone
Logic built a long and lonely road

Whoa, whoa, whoa

For all our apprehension
And our reasonable doubt
There is still something good
And real between us

Sometimes the only reason why
Is just because

But before you go
Know that you'll always be wanted
In this boy's blue eyes

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

I don't want my better judgment
If it keeps me from ever loving someone
Logic built a long and lonely road

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
(I don't want my better judgment)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
(I don't want my better judgment)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
