To the Top

You got your problems
The stress is boiling to the top
Some tip the bottle
It's just some don't know when to stop
You tell yourself that you'll start tomorrow
Just another lie on the road that you follow
It's the bottom
Watch the bottom rise to the top

I know you well
I know you're able now
To go excel
If that's what you're trying to do
You I know will just keep real quiet
You should speak up
Come on, just try it now
I know you well

You say it's like a showdown
And the pessimist is winning the fight
You say you want to slow down
If you keep this up, you just might
It's always this or that or the other
Your obstacles are always the fault of another
It's the same old
It's the things that go bump in the night

I know you well
I know you're able now
To go and excel
If that's what you're trying to do
I, I won't set your table now
I know you well

Here we are at the end of the day
You know you had a bunch of chances and you threw them away
On what
On nothing, on nothing
Now you're standing in the back of the line
You're thinking
You think it's over but you still have time
To make something
Do something

You do a lot of talking
But you can't win if you don't play
I'm really starting to think that
I think you like it that way

I know you well
I know you're able now
To go excel
If that's what you're trying to do
I know
I know
I know you well
