lyrics

Sometimes
You just gotta start a new life
At least one time
You gotta change everything
And it always stings
But you know it's what you need

I've felt the need to count my blessings
And find myself in a new setting
Thicken my skin once and again
And throw myself in the deep end

It's been a long time
Since I've been the new guy
No lie
But what I've learned
Is that sometimes it's just your turn
It's your turn

I switch it up
Once in a while to see how it feels
Just so I know that it's real
Just so I'm not standing still
Just so I don't question my decisions
Spend all my time wondering what I could be missing
Or if my time could be better spent
In a better what, where, or when
I don't stick around for too long
I keep moving on and on

It's been a long time
Since I've been the new guy
No lie
But what I've learned
Is that sometimes it's just your turn
It's your turn
And at least I'm not moving backwards
I see the progress that I'm always chasing after
It's a new day
It's a clean slate I had to move to gain
It's ok 'cause it's the only way.

And it's not a cheap shot at my friends
I can't say I'm braver than any of them
'Cause I've had this wind at my back and I see
That it's made this journey so easy on me
It's true

It's been a long time
Since I've been the new guy
No lie
But what I've learned
Is that sometimes it's just your turn
It's your turn
And at least I'm not moving backwards
I see the progress that I'm always chasing after
It's a new day
It's a clean slate I had to move to gain
It's ok 'cause it's the only way
