Chris Thile Ready for Anything Lyrics

I forget the difference between being in love
And being familiar with 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 someone's 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
Still waters can run shallow too and I could watch myself run dry

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