  • You know we're just working on it
    No leaderboard keeping score
    Long as you woke up this morning
    And see you're working on it
    It might be taking forever, but it's better than never

    Smoking two packs a day, down to one
    It don't sound like much, but for him, that's a revelation
    You shoulda seen the pride in his eyes
    When he said how far he's come from where he was

    I'm like, oh yeah, I get it, it's alright
    We all got our monsters that don't see the day light
    I'm like, oh yeah, I get it, it's alright
    Skeletons you're hiding ain't gon' leave overnight

    You know we're just working on it
    No leaderboard keeping score
    Long as you woke up this morning
    And see you're working on it
    It might be taking forever, but it's better than never
    So go easy, easy
    Everybody got ugly, ugly
    You know we're just working on it
    We're working on it, working on it

    Last night, you left the bar all alone
    First time in a while you slept at home
    And now you're back to chasing that watered-down love
    You already know that ain't what you want

    And I'm like, oh yeah, I get it, it's alright
    We all got our monsters that don't see the day light
    I'm like, oh yeah, I get it, it's alright
    Skeletons you're hiding ain't gon' leave overnight

    You know we're just working on it
    No leaderboard keeping score
    Long as you woke up this morning
    And see you're working on it
    It might be taking forever, but it's better than never
    So go easy, easy
    Everybody got ugly, ugly
    You know we're just working on it
    We're working on it, working on it

    You know we're just working on it
    We're working on it, working on it

    Put a magnifying glass to my life
    Believe me, you will find some shit
    Your eyes should unsee, ears unhear
    Let's be clear, we all shady
    Day by day, we fight the good fight
    Maybe once in a while, we find the strength to be okay
    And find some patience for ourselves
    Don't be so hard upon yourself
    Show some love to yourself

    You know we're just working on it
    No leaderboard keeping score
    Long as you woke up this morning
    And see you're working on it
    It might be taking forever, but it's better than never
    So go easy, easy
    Everybody got ugly, ugly
    You know we're just working on it
    We're working on it, working on it

    Go easy, easy
    Everybody got ugly, ugly
    You know we're just working on it
    We're working on it, working on it Writer/s: Andrew Charles Grammer, Brett Leland McLaughlin, Dan Omelio
