Common Sense

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You check the label before you take a bite Leave a little room when the shelf looks tight If the road is wet, you slow the car Small careful choices get you pretty far [Pre-Chorus] You don't need a sign in the sky Just pause long enough to ask why [Chorus] Common sense, keep it close at hand Look before you leap, know where you stand Say what you mean, and listen twice A little clear thinking can save the night Common sense, nothing fancy or grand Just a steady heart and a helping hand [Verse 2] You call your friend when the hour gets late Read the fine print before you sign your name Return the cart, hold the door, share the load Give yourself more time than the fastest road [Pre-Chorus] When every answer feels urgent and loud Take one breath and step outside the crowd [Chorus] Common sense, keep it close at hand Look before you leap, know where you stand Say what you mean, and listen twice A little clear thinking can save the night Common sense, nothing fancy or grand Just a steady heart and a helping hand [Bridge] Not every hill is yours to climb Not every spark deserves your time Be kind, be curious, check the view The simplest move is often true [Final Chorus] Common sense, keep it close at hand Look before you leap, know where you stand Say what you mean, and listen twice A little clear thinking can save the night Common sense, carry it wherever you go A quiet little compass when you don't know Common sense, nothing fancy or grand Just a steady heart and a helping hand [Outro] One good pause, one honest plan That is how we understand
