Get out of your own way

(Verse 1)

I’m building walls with the words I say

Constructing mazes in my own damn way

I check the mirror and I start the fight

Before the sun can even claim the light

I’m the judge, the jury, and the heavy chain

The only person standing in my rain.

(Pre-Chorus)

The noise is loud, the air is thin

I’m tired of losing to the ghost within

It’s a heavy weight, this self-made doubt

But I’m the only one who can let me out.

(Chorus)

So I’m gonna step aside, let the light break through

Get out of the way of the things I’m meant to do

Yeah, the harshest voice is the one I own

But I’m tired of living on this jagged throne

I’ll take a minute, I’ll take a breath

I’ll put the "perfect" talk to rest

And just for a second, I’ll stop the show

To smell the roses and watch ‘em grow.

(Verse 2)

They say the grass is greener on the other side

But I’ve been busy trying to run and hide

From the simple beauty of a quiet afternoon

By chasing shadows and a different tune

I’m my own worst critic, my own worst foe

Holding onto things I should’ve let go.

(Bridge)

Inhale the silence, exhale the heat

Feel the earth beneath my wandering feet

The world keeps spinning, it’ll be okay

If I just decide to get out of my way.

(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)

(Chorus)

Yeah, I’m gonna step aside, let the light break through

Get out of the way of the things I’m meant to do

The harshest voice is the one I own

But I’m tired of living on this jagged throne

I’ll take a minute, I’ll take a breath

I’ll put the "perfect" talk to rest

And just for a second, I’ll stop the show

To smell the roses and watch ‘em grow.

(Outro)

Just watch ‘em grow...

Take a breath now...

Yeah, I’m finally getting out of my way.

(Ooh, just smell the roses...)
