Calculated from Quattro by Them Elephants

You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated

You say you've got it under control
But hide the weight it takes on your soul
You wear the mask, but I see the thread
You chase the prize while they leap ahead
What are you waiting for?
They cheer your name, then beg for more
I think you've let it get to your head—
You think it’s lost, and you're left for dead

You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated

You act like none of this brings you down

But cracks are showing under you crown

You take the stage, but avoid the light

You’re holding back though you're set to fight

Why do you hesitate?

The moment's yours — just take the bait

You keep on running from what you said

Afraid to fall, so you stall instead

You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated
You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated

You're close, but always just out of frame
You want the glory, dodge all the blame
You talk in circles, avoid the truth
You act like time never stole your youth
So what’s your story now?
You want the win, but not the how
You say you're done, but you're still misled
Chasing a dream that lives in your head

You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated
You know you want it
Calculated
But you can’t have it
So frustrated
