[Verse 1]
Everything
Isn’t always black and white
Some of us
Are tryna figure out what’s right, that’s right
I’m just a passenger
Making my way through time
The journeys rough
The reward is good
That’s why it’s not easy to find
Hard to keep my head on straight
Pulled between the gray and great
I can rise above
Or get swept away
That’s my choice to make
I make it every day
[Chorus]
Two sides of the same coin
Which one is the mask and the real one
It’s me it’s true I’m so complicated
And still so simple you know what I’m thinking
Two sides of the same coin
Which one is the mask and the real one
It’s me it’s true I’m so complicated
And still so simple you know what I’m thinking
[Verse 2]
Every day
Isn’t going to be the same, or similar
Distractions
Are coming my way too fast right now
What does it mean
To struggle with a restless heart
One that’s cold and yet so warm
One that’s dark and yet so pure
A closed and open door
Hard to keep my head on straight
Pulled between the gray and great
I can rise above
Or get swept away
That’s my choice to make
I make it every day
[Chorus]
Two sides of the same coin
Which one is the mask and the real one
It’s me it’s true I’m so complicated
And still so simple you know what I’m thinking
Two sides of the same coin
Which one is the mask and the real one
It’s me it’s true I’m so complicated
And still so simple you know what I’m thinking
{Verse 3]
Everything isn't black and white
I'm caught between the black and white
Everything isn't black and white
I'm caught between the black and white
