Level Lyrics
My baby's on the level
And I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessin' all the time
And I can see the road
If I'm lookin' at the signs
I'm carryin' the load
And steppin' outta line
(Repeat with Jack calling the lines back to Brendan)
And I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessin' all the time
If I'm lookin' at the signs
I'm carryin' the load
And steppin' outta line

greatest rock and roll band alive.
jack white's a fucking genious.
like john lennon genious. (listen to "im lonely but im not that lonely yet" by the white stripes and every other raconteurs and white stripes songs and you'll see what I mean)
She's a level-headed, good girl on "the straight and narrow" path. He's a little more out of control and "steppin' outta line." But he's "carryin' the load" trying to make it work. I don't know, that's how I see it. This song is the best, my fav. I've heard by these guys.

this song is really awesome i feel the same about this one girl too she gives mixed signals and junk, it just makes me like her more
this song is really addictive especially the first part where brendan and jack switch off saying bow its really awesome the band looks like its gonnna be good in the future, but this is only the first few songs and theyre usually the best from any band
I dunno what this song means, but it's my favourite song off the album. There's just something about it that I love.
and 'thisapparatus69', learn to spell, it's 'genius'. K?
i feel like this song is about a relationship where the guy can't really tell what the girl is thinking, and he's just trying to make sure everything's fine. i love the tasty little harmony solo
This song is kickass, but you already know that. I saw these dudes in Vancuver and they rocked this song so tough I thought my socks were comming off. Jack was incredible on this one and Blue Veins.
I love the fact that when you listen to this song on headphones, you hear Brendon Benson in one ear and Jack White in the other.
this song is totally fuckin hot. i can't believe it isn't getting more airtime but i can't complain
I completely agree with itsfruitcakeweather. The hype of Jack White is worse than how over-rated John Mayer as a guitarist is. I hear this song seriously two or three times a day on the radio when I
m at work and its driving me nuts.John Mayer is a good guitarist...I'm not sure how you can argue that he's not. And Jack White kind of created his own sound, that's not as easy as it sounds. Go ahead and try to make a new sound and you'll find out it takes talent. And fuck you, at least both are real artists unlike a ton of mainstream artists.

Straight up what it says.
