Yes & No Lyrics

Sooner or later

I know you're gonna

Come around

To my way of thinking

When it sinks in

My reasons are sound

Now you asked me a straight question

And without contradiction

I replied

But allow me some nuance

In my response

To your side

What would you have me do?

Where would you have me go?

Cos my position is still a clear

Yes and no

Yes and no

I don't mean to hedge

Push you to the edge

Or over the brink

And not to overstate it

But it's far more complicated

Than you think

But going round and round and round on this

Won't get us

Very far

I wish I had a better answer

And that I was a better dancer

But there we are

What would you have me do?

Where would you have me go?

Cos my position is still a clear

Yes and no

Yes and no

You can suddenly feel

It's gone from the surreal

To the sublime

That the joke is wearing thin

That we've had enough spin

To last a lifetime

Cos the road has taken its toll

On our soul

Mile on mile

So let's not waste another year

let's just get out of here

For a while
