How can one
become so bounded
By choices that
somebody else makes
How come we've
both become a version
Of a person we
don't even like
We're in love
with the world
But the world just
wants to bring us down
By putting ideas
in our heads
That corrupt our
hearts somehow
When I was a child
Every single thing
could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun
But now I only
soak up wine
They say to play
hard, you work hard
Find balance in
the sacrifice
Yet I don't
know anybody
Who's truly satisfied
You better
believe I'm trying
To keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're both
none the wiser
So I hope I learn
to get over myself
Stop trying to
be somebody else
So we can love
each other for free
Everybody
wants something
You just want me
Why am I obsessing
About the things
I can't control
Why am I
seeking approval
From people I
don't even know
In these crazy
times I hope to find
Something I
can cling on to
'Cause I need some
substance in my life
Something real,
something that
feels true
You better believe
for you I've cried
High tides
'Cause I want
you so bad
But you can't
fight fire with fire
Oh, so I hope I learn
to get over myself
Stop trying to
be somebody else
Oh, I just want
to love you
Love you for free
Everybody wants
something from me
You just want me
Listen, I know
how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the
brunt of it all
'Cause you're
all I've got left
Oh, I hope in time
We both will find
peace of mind
Sometimes the
road less traveled
Is a road best
left behind
Well, I hope I learn to
get over myself
Stop trying to
be somebody else
Oh, I just want
to love you
Love you for free, yeah
'Cause everybody wants
something from me
You just want me
You better
believe I'm trying
To keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're
both none the wiser
The only regret I have
I wish that it was
just at a different time
A most turbulent
period of my life
Why would I
put that on you
That's just like a
very heavy thing to
have to talk about
But because of
that period of time
Even though it
was so much fun
I didn't get to go
on and make new
memories with him
There was just
memories in a big storm
