Lyrics

Just a suggestion once

Nobody thought I'd last this long

I was a few short pages,

stapled together Yeah, but nobody's rules, just a friendly

warning Then a whole country wrote me into its own

law Before the month was even out

Just a suggestion once

Now they quote me like I'm carved in stone

Just a suggestion once

And now I had to go and grow

For years I held the whole roof up alone

The only guy that anybody had

Now there's a bigger one to take my place

And honestly I'm kind of glad

Just a suggestion once

Now they quote me like I'm carved in stone

Just a suggestion once

And now I had to go and grow

Somewhere in a drawer, my first draft

Sleeping underlined in someone's careful hand

Funny how a little bit of paper

Turned into a whole new plan

Just a suggestion once

Now they quote me like I'm carved in stone

Just a suggestion once

And now I had to go and grow

Just a suggestion once

Just a suggestion once
