[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
~#**************#~
How come weve both become a version of a person we dont even like?
~#**************#~
Were in love with the world, but the world just wants to bring us down
~#**************#~
By puttin 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
~#**************#~
And yet I dont know anybody whos truly satisfied
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
You better believe Im tryin (Tryin, tryin)
~#**************#~
To keep climbin (Climbin, climbin)
~#**************#~
But the higher we climb feels like were both none the wiser
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
So I hope I learn to get over myself
~#**************#~
Stop tryin to be somebody else
~#**************#~
So we can love each other for free
~#**************#~
Everybody wants somethin, you just want me
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Why am I obsessin about the things I cant control?
~#**************#~
Why am I seekin approval from people I dont even know?
~#**************#~
In these crazy times, I hope to find somethin I can cling on to
~#**************#~
‘Cause I need some substance in my life, somethin real, somethin that feels true
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
You better believe for you, Ive cried (Ive cried, Ive cried)
~#**************#~
High tides (High tides, high tides)
~#**************#~
‘Cause I want you so bad, but you cant fight fire with fire, oh
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
So I hope I learn to get over myself
~#**************#~
Stop tryin to be somebody else
~#**************#~
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free
~#**************#~
Everybody wants somethin from me, you just want me
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
~#**************#~
You get the brunt of it all cause youre all Ive got left
~#**************#~
Oh, I hope in time (Hope in time)
~#**************#~
We both will find peace of mind (We both find)
~#**************#~
Sometimes, the road less travelled is a road best left behind
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Well, I hope I learn to get over myself
~#**************#~
Stop tryin to be somebody else
~#**************#~
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
~#**************#~
‘Cause everybody wants somethin from me, you just want me
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
You better believe Im tryin (Tryin, tryin)
~#**************#~
To keep climbin (Climbin, climbin)
~#**************#~
But the higher we climb, feels like were both none the wiser
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
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?
~#**************#~
Thats 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 didnt get to go on and make new memories with him
~#**************#~
There was just memories in a big storm
