    Story Behind the Song
    I can't honestly remember the history of this song, but it's exemplifies a recurring theme for me...

    Lyrics
    i don't use the word compromise
    'cause i don't like the meaning
    that it implies
    i prefer to say "trade off"
    because it signifies what i do in my life

    i trade off companionship for freedom
    i trade off having good friends
    for always starting something new
    i trade of true love and trust for passion
    i trade off understanding
    for a fleeting chance at pleasure

    i don't use the word compromise
    'cause i don't like the meaning that it implies
    i prefer to say "trade off"
    because it signifies what i do in my life

    i trade off stability for excitement
    to have the ability
    to say each year looks different
    i trade off the familiar things for chaos
    you know i learn a lot
    but it still makes me feel lost

    what do i lose?
    you know i always lose
    what do i lose?

    and if i rationalize every choice i make,
    i feel i'm in control
    and if i rationalize every choice i make,
    i feel i'm in control
    but underneath it all the melancholy grows,
    something in me knows
    but underneath it all the melancholy grows,
    something in me knows

    what do i know?
    i'm still too young to know
    what do i know?

    i trade off companionship for freedom....
