To the Roots

It's days like today, I feel like I'm never quite
On my own game, and it makes me remember
I started the chase and I gave up on living a lie, oh-aye-oh
I'm in my own way, I'm always a step behind
Where I should be, it reminds me how badly I
Want something perfect, and so I remember that I
Need to get to the roots

It's nights like tonight that I'm lost in my memories
Hoping to find, a reason for me
To believe in the things that brought me to be where I am

I write because I need to hear it
I try and run because I fear it
I pace because I'm a nervous wreck, I try so I can live with it today, oh-aye-oh
I fight because I need to feel it
And hope to God I'm right to do it
I chase because I don't know better, I've come to find I'm always on my way, oh-aye-oh
I'm always on my way
I'm always on my way
I'm always on my way
I'm always on my way
