[Intro] I could name every star Still get lost coming home Had an answer for everything Except the life I called my own [Verse 1] Saved a hundred things about letting go Kept your last message on my phone Told my friends that peace takes practice Then let one bad word turn me cold I could make my hurt sound holy Give my habits better names But the mirror never asked me How beautifully I explained Read about the open ocean With my feet above the tide Maybe knowing where the shore ends Doesn’t teach you how to dive [Pre-Chorus] When the moment puts me under When there’s nothing to rehearse Will I reach for what is honest Even if it hurts me first? [Chorus] Get it out of my head Get it into my life Let it show in what I do When nobody’s on my side I don’t need another sentence I can use to sound complete If I say I’m moving forward Let the ground feel my feet Out of my head Into my hands What good is understanding If I never give it a chance? [Verse 2] Had a fight on Sunday morning Felt the old reply arrive Every reason I was right there Every way to twist the knife Left the message sitting unfinished Let the anger have its heat Came back later, said, “I hurt you” Without adding, “You hurt me” Nothing opened in the heavens No one called to say I’d changed But I slept a little easier Had less damage to explain [Pre-Chorus] Maybe growth is less impressive Than the picture I had drawn Just a choice I keep on making When the feeling’s come and gone [Chorus] Get it out of my head Get it into my life Let it show in what I do When nobody’s on my side I don’t need another sentence I can use to sound complete If I say I’m moving forward Let the ground feel my feet Out of my head Into my hands What good is understanding If I never give it a chance? [Bridge] I still lose my patience Still avoid a call Still confuse being guarded With not needing love at all I can see the contradiction I can let it change my plans I can say I haven’t learned it Quite as well as I had claimed There are things I learned from thinking Things I learned by getting burned Now I’m learning how to carry What I used to just repeat in words [Final Chorus] Get it out of my head Get it into my days In the promises I honor In the way I let you change Let me leave a little different From the person who arrived With less distance between What I believe and how I live my life Out of my head Into my hands I’ve been standing at the water Now I’m stepping off the sand [Outro] All those stars above the water All that water on my skin I had so much to say about it Now I’m finally getting in
