Taking Our Lives Back Lyrics

Some days it's true

We dig to the bottom of our backpack

We try to hold ourselves up

And walk standing tall not sway back

Just taking as it comes

But when do we start taking our lives back

We try to keep all the rules

Without breaking the contract

Bring the boat into the harbor

Without causing a shipwreck

Taking care of the past

But without having a flashback

Trying to figure what to do

Playing defense but wanting to attack

We carried in the groceries

But came back to pick up the sack

Just taking as it comes

But when do we start taking our lives back

We try to keep all the rules

Without breaking the contract

Bring the boat into the harbor

Without causing a shipwreck

Taking care of the past

But without having a flashback

Some days it's true

We dig to the bottom of our backpack

We try to hold ourselves up

And walk standing tall not sway back

Just taking as it comes

But when do we start taking our lives back

We hoped to cross the equator

Trying to become a shell back

Suffered information overload

Trying to become a life hack

Still listen to the railroad

So I moved near the train track

Trying to figure what to do

Playing defense but wanting to attack

We carried in the groceries

But came back to pick up the sack

Just taking as it comes

But when do we start taking our lives back

Mainly we learned

Keep going to you can come back

Keep on giving

Until you can always give back

Keep on trying

Even if you only get push back

Some days it's true

We dig to the bottom of our backpack

We try to hold ourselves up

And walk standing tall not sway back

Just taking as it comes

But, when do we start taking our lives back

No time for taking our lives back

Just no time for taking our lives back
