Figure It Out
Eggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm here in my home
But I somehow feel unsure
I feel like the whole damn room
Looks different than before

I'm talkin' bout the way the sun lights up the room
Everyday I wake up just a minute to soon
Well there's a look in your eye that's tellin' me why
But I guess for now I'll let it pass by

There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out

I look at my life
And all the things I've done
I consider it bliss
Now that we're here with everyone

It's easier to think of all the way things could have gone
Of all the things that I've done wrong
Everyone has something at home that they fear
So let's have some fun as long as we're here

There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out, figure it out

There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out

If things were more clear
What else could I see?
I couldn't predict
Where my life would be

I'll take each day as it comes and won't turn back
I'll think what I've got and not what I lack
I may rise or fall or lose it all
But I know in the end I'm gonna stand tall

There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out

There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is




You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out

The lyrics in this song convey a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty that many people can relate to.
