Stride Lyrics by Close Talker

How Do We Stay Here?

2020

[Verse 1]
Ridin' in the car
Wonderin' just where you are
Held back my tongue
I'm lookin' out, thinkin' as I'm sittin' shotgun

[Verse 2]
Not much out there
A couple trees in the winter air
Heavy stuff on my mind
Keepin' me off of that line

[Chorus]
What I'm recognizing
Is I'm relying on things that hold me back
And what I'm saying
Is that I'm blaming myself for that
What I'm recognizing
I cannot erase this now
What I'm recognizing
I've just gotta face it now

[Verse 3]
Eyes set on the road
'Cause I've got a fair bit of precious cargo
These things, they take time
Hope I'm starting to find my stride

[Chorus]
What I'm recognizing
Is I'm relying on things that hold me back
And what I'm saying
Is that I'm blaming myself for that

[Chorus]
What I'm recognizing
Is I'm relying on things that hold me back
And what I'm saying
Is that I'm blaming myself for that
What I'm recognizing
I cannot erase this now
What I'm recognizing
I've just gotta face it now
