There might be some days that I don't think
Maybe some days I don't feel a thing
I'm probably out here with everyone
With my head up in the clouds
Not me and mine to go without
What if someday I'll have enough
What if one day I'll see it off
I'll still be out here in a drought
What if I never dodge the bullet that I swore would take me out
Leave it to me
To be in so close but out of reach
Leave it to me
To find everything I thought I'd be
Why can't I leave better off alone
Not all intentions seem so bad
But for each one I know was left unsaid
All my suspicions would drive me mad
Like a map that has been traced
Just sent off to be erased or misplaced
And I'd say
Leave it to me
To be in so close but out of reach
Leave it to me
To find everything I thought I'd be
Why can't I leave better off alone
Leave it to me
To be in so close but out of reach
Leave it to me
To find everything I thought I'd be
Why can't I leave better off alone
Why can't I leave better off alone
I just might be better off alone

Familiar Faces

I'm in and out of time and space
Running behind
I'm on two feet again
I thought you should know
This place is cold
Familiar faces come and go
I thought I needed it
But how would you know
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
Everybody's talkin, everybody sees it
Lord knows that they've got their reasons
I know myself by now
It ain't what you say, it's what you believe in
Lord knows that they've got their reasons
I know myself by now
I'm in and out of time and space
Nowhere to hide
I thought I needed it, but how would you know
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
Everybody's talkin, everybody sees it
Lord knows that they've got their reasons
I know myself by now
It ain't what you say, it's what you believe in
Lord knows that they've got their reasons
I know myself by now
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
Some people they don't change
Stay far away
Just give them space
I'm in and out of time and space
Nowhere to hide
I'm on two feet again
I thought you should know

To My Younger Self

Take a step back and cloud yourself with wonder
Oh, little child
You've got too much ahead
Get yourself up
Hard times will bring you under
But you'll be fine
Just like your momma said
I'm feeling satisfactory
Like they made this feeling in a factory
Some days I ain't so sure
Like I can't go no more
What am I good for
Just what am I good for
Get yourself back
There will be another
In a little while, then you can try again
Take your eyes off someone that makes you wonder
You can say goodbye
Just like you should've said
I'm feeling satisfactory
Like they made this feeling in a factory
Some days I ain't so sure
Like I can't go no more
What am I good for
Just what am I good for
Joy comes with sunrise in the morning
Weeping through the night
This thing for sure won't last forever
We'll be just fine
Take it easy, we're all something
It will come and go
Always fleeting, never ending
We will never know
This thing for sure won't last forever
We'll be just fine
I'm feeling satisfactory
Like they made this feeling in a factory
Some days I ain't so sure
Like I can't go no more
What am I good for
Tell me tell me tell me
Just what am I good for
What am I good for
What am I good for

It can be hard sometimes
To have a good view on life
When your mind's a game that you can't win
And you wish that you weren't here
That you'd up and disappear
Because maybe you don't matter anyway
When the life that you're living
Is hanging by a thread
And you're fighting from a hospital bed
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I swear I'll do better on the ground
Time is a tickin'
Set my mind straight while I'm still kickin
And when I get back on my feet
I'll only pick the fights worth pickin
Legs that will move, lungs that will sing
A heart that will beat
I won't let my mind get the best of me
So don't take me now, we can turn this around
I swear that I'll do better on the ground
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I promise I'll make it up
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I know that I'll do better on the ground
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I'll make it up
Don't take me now
We can turn this around
I swear that I'll do better on the ground

I've been chillin' with my head held high
Nothing wrong but these untied shoes
I render out all the yellow lines
Hard fighting me when you can't lose
Did I sing at the top of my lungs
Did I sing at the top of my lungs for my friends
I've been adding up my mistakes
Lampshades kept my lights undone
Somehow I still find my way
Eyes closed when I'm looking at the sun
Lost the battle, war still going
Preachin' rust, not never knowin'
My heart was hoping
Here's to knowing you ain't changed a bit
You said you can't stay here anymore
It breaks your heart watching me fight this secret war
My secret war
My secret war
My secret war
I wish I would spoken sooner
I'm knowing now that I will lose you
My heart is broken
Here's to knowing you ain't changed a bit
Changed a bit
Changed a bit
I've been chillin' with my head held high
Nothing wrong but these untied shoes
I render out all the yellow lines
Hard fighting me when you can't lose
Figure out in my own notion
The shame is gone so I've been boastin
My heart was hoping
Here's to knowing you ain't changed a bit
For many of us right now we have to understand
That we're in a state of mind where we're not okay
And I want you to know that it's okay to not be okay
But it's not okay to stay that way
It's not okay to stay inside your mind, in your depression and your anxiety and your guilt
So what we need to do is capture those thoughts
We need to hold them captive
So that they don't go any further in our mind and start that pattern of destructive behavior
We need to kill that thought
And the way we kill that thought it understanding that that thought did not come from God
God loves us
He sent his one and only son to die on a cross for our sins
That thought in our mind is trying to destroy us
He has the absolute best in mind for us
And we are no longer bound by those chains
Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right
Whatever is pure
Whatever is lovely,
Whatever is admirable
If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, meditate on these things
That's who we are

I Know Better

Your raven heart won't get you very far
Your heavy hands always keep you in demand
But then they might be worth the time
To try
Stay on the fence just to keep them in suspense
You save some face, never let them set the pace
Doors on the henge, it's the way you've been
I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offer
When the time's right, I might let you in
Let you in
Those idle words, ones you thought you'd never serve
Those knives and blades, things you thought you'd never face
Mistakes you've made
Throw them all away
I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offer
When the time's right, I might let you in
Let you in
Times weren't right
Couldn't talk about it, talk about it
Wonder why
I can't talk about it
Talk about it
I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offer
When the time's right, I might let you in
Let you in

Who I Am For Now
03:20

Pacing the floor the falls around me
My feet they fall and stumble
My foundation falling down
And I spent
Every little moment
Confusing all my nothings
With who I am for now
Don't know what to say now
I've been on the way out
Don't know what to say now
It's not easy
I don't feel the things that I felt anymore
But I won't dare just to hang my head
You know I can't
My hands aren't tied anymore
And I saw
Just what I came to be called
How lonely oh it must me
To never have belonged
It's not easy
I don't feel the things that I felt anymore
But I won't dare just to hang my head
You know I can't
My hands aren't tied
And It's not easy
I don't feel the things that I felt anymore
But I won't dare just to hang my head
You know I can't
My hands aren't tied
Don't know what to say now
I've been on the way out
Don't know what to say now
Don't you say that you were there for me
When every single word and every single thing
Every house you broke until the sanctity
Fills the space of what could never ever be
When I said everything that I meant
I let go of all the nothings
That I had learned to hold
And one day
I'm sure to be a husband
To a wife that truly loves me
In a house we'll call a home

I'm stuck in my ways
I can't count the things I'd change without a doubt, yeah
And I would rather stay
Amongst the loneliness I feel than break the habits
Every motive that I find
Keeps me stuck on every line just like a magnet
And I tried to decide between the Jekyll and the Hyde
I've gotta have it
But baby I've got you
I've got you
Baby I've got you
I've got you
We're nothing ordinary
Oh to what shall I compare thee
It all falls short babe
Constantly reminded and repeatedly blinded by you baby
But I saw heaven in your lap
When you looked down at me and laughed
I saw heaven, heaven clear as day
Side by side, how'd I get away
With the greater sign pointed my way
I know I don't deserve your love
But oh so glad I got it anyway
I've got you
But baby I've got you
I've got you
Baby I've got you
I've got you
I've got you
On and on and on
I've seen a million times
On and on and on
You've gone and changed my mind
On and on and on
I've seen a million times
On and on and on
You've gone and changed my mind
On and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on an on
I've got you
But baby I've got you
I've got you
Baby I've got you
I've got you
I've got you
I've got you
But baby I've got you
I've got you
Baby I've got you
I've got you
I've got you
On and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on an on

Every morning breathing
I've got money in the bank
Friends and family, Jesus
Still got plenty more left to say
Life and love
Not much else I can think of
Caught up in my feelings
Feeling better everyday
At least I can die happy
At least I can die
Each day I gotta say I have a lot to be thankful for
In a way, I can honestly say I don't need much more
Life is a funny thing
You blink then it's gone insane
So I'm gonna be right here
Smilin' from ear to ear
At least I can die happy
At least I can die happy
At least I can die happy
At least I can die
Know your enemy
At least I can die happy
And if you figure that out, then you'll see
At least I can die happy
Treat yourself to some peace of mind
At least I can die happy
You're gonna be alright
At least I can die happy
At least I can die happy
At least I can die happy
At least I can die
