  • I keep my focus on the simple things
    Trying to find some peace along the way
    Wish I knew how long I'm supposed to wait
    Holding on but just barely

    Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
    There's always a reason to let it change
    Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
    There's always a reason for the pain

    I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
    Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?

    Never had anything to prove
    But never was anyone like you
    All you fought through, all you had to face
    Made you stronger, unafraid

    Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
    There's always a reason to let it change
    Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
    Always a reason for the pain

    I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
    Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
    I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
    'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head

    Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
    There's always a reason to let it change
    Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
    Always a reason for the pain

    I'm doing the things I've been told every day, every day, every day
    Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
    I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
    'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head

    I keep my focus on the simple things
    Trying to find some peace along the way Writer/s: Jim Adkins, Rick Burch, Tom Linton, Zach Lind
