Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking, what do I know
What do I know
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though
I been looking at the past and at the future
Not the present
Overthinking bout the things that I ain’t done right
And sometimes it feel like I cannot catch a blessing
I been stuck in my own way maybe God is really testing me now
And I ain’t got so much to say
Part of the reason I been lost and cannot seem to find my way
And how is it that they say they care
When they were never really there for me
Nah
Now I’m spinning round
And I’m running from all the things I never did
And I hope I find what I need to do cause it feels like I can’t win
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though
Looking for the answers while I’m searching for the one
Thinking and I don’t know if I’ll ever overcome these days
Monday thru Friday feeling like weak days
Now let me know if you need someone you can talk to
Please I’m tryna find my way slowly, I can’t see
Now I’m spinning round
And I’m running from all the things I never did
And I hope I find what I need to do cause it feels like I can’t win
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though
Eyes closed I been walking round
Feeling like my life's on a tightrope
Tryna get it right
But I be thinking what do I know
Do I have what it takes to fulfill all of this time tough
Time though




Eyes closed
Where did my time go
