[Verse 1] Firstly Yeah It saved us time Made the morning rush feel almost fine Little faster lines Fewer fights Coffee in my hand Caught my flight They say the metrics all look good Safer streets Better neighborhood Every chart points up and right Every bright bar glowing white [Chorus] But what about the parts we never measure? All the quiet things we’re trading for this treasure If the outcome’s better Safer More approved Why does something deep inside feel slightly moved? Yeah We’re winning on the page I guess that’s true But secondly I’m scared of what it does to you [Verse 2] Secondly It smooths out choice Gives a gentle Guiding Friendly voice “Trust the system Let it steer” Takes the little frictions Disappears No one trips And no one slips But I miss the shaky fingertips All the wrong turns All the mess All the human heaviness [Chorus] So what about the parts we never measure? All the quiet things we’re trading for this treasure If the outcome’s better Safer More approved Why does something deep inside feel slightly moved? Yeah We’re winning on the page I guess that’s true But secondly I’m scared of what it does to you [Bridge] Maybe there’s a way To keep the good To let it stay And still leave room for us to fail To write a line off-script Off-rail (oh) [Chorus] ‘Cause what about the parts we never measure? All the broken bits that turn into our treasure If the outcome’s better Safer More approved Can we keep the parts that never will be smoothed? Yeah Firstly I can see the upside too But secondly I still wanna choose what makes me “me” and you
