The Impression That I Get - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

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

No well

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad i haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high

You need a strength most don't possess

Or has it ever come down to do or die

You've got to rise above the rest

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad I haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get

I'm not a coward

I've just never been tested

I'd 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

I'm afraid of what I might find out

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Whoch makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad i haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get

Never have I'd better knock on wood

'Cause I know someone who has

Wonder if I could it makes me wonder if I've never had to

I'd better knock on wood 'cause I'm sure it isn't good

And I'm glad I haven't yet that's the impression that I get
