lyrics

For what it's worth I've been breaking old habits,
Slowly and steadily.
I strive to bring the young me back to life,
The boy that was drowning in my
Lack of faith that life could be okay.
Identity erased, I'll find a better way.
I think it's time I made a change
(I think it's time I made a change),
‘Cause I've been feeling awfully strange (awfully strange).

Take everything for granted long enough and you'll find out
That everything that you believe will fade away.
This is my life, it's time I start living.

When the sun comes around, I feel a bit different,
The days aren't a total drag.
I take my time and take it easy, while always pushing myself
To be a better man, to have a steady hand.
I was always overthinking and my confidence was shrinking.
I think it's time I made a change (I think it's time I made a change),
I was driving in the opposite lane (and I was headed for a crash).

Take everything for granted long enough and you'll find out
That everything that you believe will fade away.
This is my life, it's time I start living.

And I'm not saying you have to be a saint,
You just have to be okay with yourself,
And the choices that you make
Take better care of those around you,
Be aware and let them ground you.
Surround yourself with better times
And find a way to make the grind,
Less taxing because
We all should be relaxing.
