The Impression That I Get Lyrics - Let's Face It - 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? 

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 coward 

I'm afraid of what I might find out 

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've never had to, but I better knock on wood 

'Cos I know someone who has 

Which makes me wonder if I could 

It makes me wonder if 

I've never had to, I better knock on wood 

Because I'm sure it isn't good 

And I'm glad I haven't yet 

That's the impression that I get
