The Impression That I Get Lyrics

[00:21.05] Have you ever been close to tragedy
[00:23.72] Or been close to folks who have?
[00:26.20] Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
[00:28.95] So heavy you collapse
[00:32.01] No, well
[00:36.07] I've never had to knock on wood
[00:41.01] But I know someone who has
[00:43.66] Which makes me wonder if I could
[00:46.28] It makes me wonder if I've
[00:48.19] Never had to knock on wood
[00:51.77] And I'm glad I haven't yet
[00:54.30] Because I'm sure it isn't good
[00:56.93] That's the impression that I get
[01:00.63]
[01:08.91] Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
[01:11.41] You need a strength most don't possess?
[01:14.28] Or has it ever come down to do or die?
[01:16.80] You've got to rise above the rest
[01:19.85] No, well
[01:24.15] I've never had to knock on wood
[01:28.95] But I know someone who has
[01:31.45] Which makes me wonder if I could
[01:34.18] It makes me wonder if I've
[01:36.02] Never had to knock on wood
[01:39.62] And I'm glad I haven't yet
[01:42.23] Because I'm sure it isn't good
[01:44.88] That's the impression that I get
[01:48.39]
[01:55.33] I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
[01:57.90] I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
[02:00.22] Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"
[02:03.03] Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
[02:05.08] Never had to knock on wood
[02:08.67] But I know someone who has
[02:11.15] Which makes me wonder if I could
[02:14.10] It makes me wonder if I've
[02:15.64] Never had to knock on wood
[02:19.37] And I'm glad I haven't yet
[02:21.96] Because I'm sure it isn't good
[02:24.65] That's the impression that I get
[02:28.14]
[02:47.63] I've never had to, but I better knock on wood
[02:50.95] 'Cause I know someone who has
[02:53.44] Which makes wonder if I could
[02:55.90] It makes me wonder if I've
[02:57.96] Never had to, I'd better knock on wood
[03:01.27] 'Cause I'm sure it isn't good
[03:03.81] And I'm glad I haven't yet
[03:07.08] That's the impression that I get
[03:08.74]
