Lyrics:

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

You better believe Im tryin (Tryin, tryin)
To keep climbin (Climbin, climbin)
But the higher we climb feels like were both none the wiser

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

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

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

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

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 (Well both 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 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

You better believe Im tryin (Tryin, tryin)
To keep climbin (Climbin, climbin)
But the higher we climb, feels like were 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?
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 were just memories in a big storm
