lyrics

I heard a little memo downtown
That someone’s been a tapping at your front door
And turning your smile into a frown
Striking out your matches on the cold floor

I know it’s hard to sing sometimes
And it can make you lose your mind
I wanna hear the music downtown
and see you standing taller than the brick wall

Spring will turn to summer till you fall
Patterns never change until you want more
Don’t let them pass you by so small
You can make the magic and then before

You know the grass is greener where you are
And where you’re going and your scars
They feel like paintings of your path
And even on the darker days you know you’re feeling stronger and give yourself the time and space and heart
yeah

All this stress
Won't wash away itself
I confess
Some days I feel like staying on the shelf
There’s time to rest
And after you can work it out hey

Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come, you coming?
Things will come undone
When they do let’s rest, then running
Down another track









Cut yourself some slack
It’s fun then

Words are gonna cut
Words are gonna cut, they’re aiming
For another shot
But your targets not worth chasing
Took the ammo out, hear the crack
and shout, don’t feel it

All this stress
Won't wash away itself
I confess
Some days I feel like staying on the shelf
Take time to rest
And after you can work it out
Work it out

Change is gonna come
Change is gonna come, you coming?
Things will come undone
When they do let’s rest, then running
Down another track
Cut yourself some slack
It’s fun then

Words are gonna cut
Words are gonna cut, they’re aiming
For another shot
But your targets not worth chasing
Took the ammo out, hear the crack
and shout, don’t feel it

You can work it, yeah you can work it
You can work it, yeah you can work it out

You can work it, yeah you can work it
You can work it, yeah you can work it out

You can work it, yeah you can work it
You can work it, yeah you can work it out

You can work it, yeah you can work it
You can work it, yeah you can work it out
