SHIFT
Mark & John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you think you should be doing with your life?
You can barely hold a picture
Of what you really want on the screen of your mind
You can close the gap from where you are and where you wanna be
But you gotta shift your
Paradigm
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
Shift your paradigm
Do you feel like you're not getting
To the places that you try to visualize?
You can barely keep your focus
Without seeing your results before your eyes
You'll develop faith when you believe in who you wanna be
But you gotta shift your
Paradigm
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
Shift your paradigm
Get emotionally attached to a new idea
Let your imagination run wild 'til you can really feel it
You can feel it
Do you feel like you're not doing
What you think you should be doing with your life?
You can barely hold a picture
Of what you want
Paradigm
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
You gotta shift your (Paradigm)
Shift your paradigm
Paradigm
You gotta shift your
Paradigm
Shift your paradigm
