How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
How come we've both become a version of a person we don't even like?
We're 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

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
How come we've both become a version of a person we don't even like?
We're 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 don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
You better believe I'm tryin' (Tryin', tryin')
To keep climbin' (Climbin', climbin')
But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Why am I obsessin' about the things I can't control?
Why am I seekin' approval from people I don't 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
[Pre-Chorus]
You better believe for you, I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
High tides (High tides, high tides)
Cause I want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire, oh
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left
Oh, I hope in time (Hope in time)
We both will find peace of mind (We both find)
Sometimes, the road less travelled is a road best left behind
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
You better believe I'm tryin' (Tryin', tryin')
To keep climbin' (Climbin', climbin')
But the higher we climb, feels like we're both none the wiser
[Outro]
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?
That's 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 didn't get to go on and make new memories with him
There was just memories in a big storm
Hvordan kan man blive så afgrænset af valg, som en anden træffer?
Hvorfor er vi begge blevet en version af en person, vi ikke engang kan lide?
Vi er forelsket i verden, men verden vil bare bringe os ned
Af Puttin 'ideer i vores hoveder, der ødelægger vores hjerter på en eller anden måde
Da jeg var barn, kunne hver eneste ting sprænge mit sind
Blødgør det hele for sjov, men nu opsuger jeg kun vin
De siger at spille hårdt, du arbejder hårdt, finder balance i ofret
Og alligevel kender jeg ikke nogen, der virkelig er tilfreds
[Pre-Chorus]
Du må hellere tro, at jeg prøver (tryin ', tryin')
For at holde klatre '(klatre op, klatre))
Men jo højere vi klatrer føles som om vi begge ikke er klogere
[Kor]
Så jeg håber, jeg lærer at komme over mig selv
Stop med at prøve at være nogen anden
Så vi kan elske hinanden gratis
Alle vil have noget, du vil bare have mig
[Vers 2]
Hvorfor besættes jeg om de ting, jeg ikke kan kontrollere?
Hvorfor søger jeg godkendelse fra folk, som jeg ikke engang kender?
I disse skøre tider håber jeg at finde noget
For jeg har brug for noget stof i mit liv, noget rigtigt, noget, der føles sandt
[Pre-Chorus]
Du må hellere tro på dig, jeg har græd (jeg har græd, jeg har græd)
Høje tidevand (højvande, højvande)
Fordi jeg vil have dig så dårlig, men du kan ikke bekæmpe ild med ild, åh
[Kor]
Så jeg håber, jeg lærer at komme over mig selv
Stop med at prøve at være nogen anden
Åh, jeg vil bare elske dig, elsker dig gratis
Alle vil have noget fra mig, du vil bare have mig
[Bro]
Hør, jeg ved, hvor lavt jeg kan gå, jeg giver så godt som jeg får
Du får hovedet af det hele, fordi du er alt, hvad jeg har tilbage
Åh, jeg håber i tide (Hope in Time)
Vi finder begge ro i sindet (vi finder begge)
Nogle gange er den mindre kørte vej en vej, der bedst er tilbage
[Kor]
Jeg håber, jeg lærer at komme over mig selv
Stop med at prøve at være nogen anden
Åh, jeg vil bare elske dig, elsker dig gratis, ja
For alle vil have noget fra mig, du vil bare have mig
[Afstå]
Du må hellere tro, at jeg prøver (tryin ', tryin')
For at holde klatre '(klatre op, klatre))
Men jo højere vi klatrer, føles som om vi begge ikke er klogere
[Outro]
Den eneste beklagelse, jeg har
Jeg ville ønske, at det bare var på et andet tidspunkt
En mest turbulent periode i mit liv
Hvorfor skulle jeg lægge det på dig?
Det er bare som en meget tung ting at skulle tale om
Men på grund af den periode
Selvom det var så sjovt
Jeg kom ikke til og lavede nye minder med ham
Der var bare minder i en stor storm
