No one has it all figured out, so cut yourself some slack.

lyrics

Paint me a picture of what you see
Show me how things are and how they ought to be
The difference in the quality
And what they’ve got on you
It might seem like you don’t have a thing
Everywhere you go, yeah, their grass is green
But lives are never what they seem
We’re all figuring it out

All these kids living in the stream
Looking for their next hit of self-esteem
The girls who sell a fantasy
And the guys who pay their rent
The high school love that you ruled out
The one that you always think about
You were seventeen, full of self-doubt
You were figuring it out

The heroes that we see on stage
Imitated right from an early age
Like Mick and Keith, Jimmy Page
Will I ever play like that?
The stars in your mind, the stars in the sky
Those that left their mark, then left to die
They were human too, like you and I
They were figuring it out

Once in a dream I met a man who had
The answers it seemed and in his hand he held
The key to all life’s happiness is letting go of what you think’s best
In his hand was emptiness
Now are you ready to be blessed?

We all got a friend or an enemy
Who’s the version of you that you want to be
Step back and you will see
A bigger picture here
There’s at least one or two
Who put you up on their pedestal
Tell them this when they come to you
We’re all figuring it out

Figuring it out
We’re figuring it out
