## Lyrics

**Verse**

No perfect way to stand  
there's no one shape for everyone  
we come a hundred ways  
and you're a one and only one  


**Chorus**

Is the left like the right  
that's the one thing I'm looking for  
so stand there, let me see  
just stand the way you stood before  


**Verse**

A shoulder sitting high  
a hip that is dropped on one side  
a lean through the middle  
or an arm with a gap left wide  


**Chorus**

Is the left like the right  
that's the one thing I'm looking for  
so stand there, let me see  
just stand the way you stood before  


**Verse**

It wasn't the school bag  
it wasn't the couch or the chair  
you'll ache if you slouch there  
but that is the whole of the scare  


**Bridge**

We look while you are small  
while every bit of you can bend  
the bones go hard in time  
and early's the easier end  

And the playing's the work  
it is not a break from the day  
it's the strength and balance  
and you find your edges that way  


**Chorus**

Is the left like the right  
that's the one thing I'm looking for  
so stand there, let me see  
just stand the way you stood before  


**Outro**

Is the left like the right  
just stand the way you stood before
