Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get Lyrics

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
Ive never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
Ive never had to knock on wood
And Im glad I havent yet
Because Im sure it isnt good
Thats the impression that I get
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most dont possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
Youve got to rise above the rest
Ive never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
Ive never had to knock on wood
And Im glad I havent yet
Because Im sure it isnt good
Thats the impression that I get
Im not a coward,
Ive just never been tested
Id like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a cowards,
Im afraid of what I might find out
Ive never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
Ive never had to knock on wood
And Im glad I havent yet
Because Im sure it isnt good
Thats the impression that I get
