lyrics

I know it’s been a rough road
Believe me, I know how it goes
But it’s no fault of mine
And it’s no fault of yours,
And that’s tough

It’s hard to think in your present state
I guess you’ve got a lot on your plate
But get in line, boy
We’ve got our own shit

You wanted someone to take all the blame
Don’t know what you want me to do
I’ve got my own lions to tame
When you’re stuck outside the zoo

Time to figure out
You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you

My bags are packed
My shoes are on
Don’t worry man,
I’ll write a song
About how we started out
We were driving in the dawn

But you wanted someone to take all the blame
Yes, I know what you want me to do
But I’m riding off on my lions I’ve tamed
Tell me, boy, have you found the zoo?

Time to figure out
You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you
And you worry ‘bout those days
When you know you’ll be far away
And you can’t stop thinking you’re wrong

Gotta figure out you

You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you

Yeah, oh no

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
