	Story Behind the Song Performed live at a coffeehouse. The "band" only had a couple of rehearsals w/ this song, so it's rough in spots. Eshinee can hear nothing through the monitors, which makes harmonizing on a song you barely know all that much harder. Still, overall, it came out pretty good. This is one of the VERY few songs I wrote in one sitting, and one of the few in which I wrote the lyrics before the music. As for the motivation, well, now, you'll just have to guess, won't you? Lyrics Is this the decision that you're not making? Inertia plays the winning hand After all the arugments you've been debating Status quo, it wins again When what you've got beats out what could be No matter who has won the race The challenger asking "him or me?" Has already come in second place CHORUS And it's clear to me, finally, That you aren't giving up your security Even when all you have is nothing you need You'd rather take that nothing Than do without for me Half of what I've offered is twice what you have It's all you want and all you need I know your heart has been doing the Math But your mind's obsessed with History That bridge you've built between you and him Through sweat and blood, tears and sacrifice May span a cavern, but why make that trip When I'm already here by your side? Chorus (x2)
