Sway
Household Lyrics

Well thought out, I'd say I am
I think deeply about things before speaking or taking actions

Finding the problem in you again and again
I tend to constantly look for faults in others, even repeatedly

But hold on, Maybe it's me?
However, I do recognize that perhaps I could be the source of the problems I see

‘Cause I've invested all my thoughts in things I cannot release
Despite knowing that, I struggle to let go of the things that bother me even if I can't change them

My mind, like a city to explore, stretches over yet it's all in my head
My thoughts and emotions are vast and complex, like a city, but they all exist internally

Be free - now hold that up to me
I understand the concept of being free emotionally and cognitively, but have trouble implementing it myself

Seems so easy to say but let it hit me
Although it sounds simple, I do acknowledge that realizing this freedom may be difficult

I hold you close, I hold you close enough to know your every mistake while still having the spunk to ask you to change
I am deeply involved with those around me and can see their flaws and areas for improvement, yet still have the courage to encourage them to grow

Am I who I thought I'd be by now?
I question whether I have lived up to my own expectations and goals for myself

So much of what I think constricts so much of who I wanted to be
The way I think or see things often limits who I wanted to become

I wanted to be closer to getting past this than I am
I desire to have made more progress in overcoming my own limitations

Further along than I am
I want to be at a more advanced stage than I currently am in reaching my goals

It's about time that I get this right
I feel a sense of urgency to improve myself and reach my aspirations

Further along than I am
I reiterate my desire to have made greater strides towards progress than I currently have
