Lyrics
Life can chase, you’re on the run
Hits like a steady drum
Drama, stress, a constant stream
A layered pressure scheme
Caught off guard
Treading water, getting tired
Knocks you down
Lost some ground
So how do I do it?
I’ll show you
It’s barely a scratch
What’s the catch?
No problem, I’m okay
Can’t get in my way
In the steady lane
No loss I can’t regain
Attitude is key
To life’s mystery
Here’s how it goes
Life bends and curves
Up, down, middle ground
You can’t fight against it
Stay ready, you’ll win it
Don’t sweat little things
Stop pulling the short strings
Make the big pieces small
You can’t do it all
Getting it yet?
It’s barely a scratch
What’s the catch?
No problem, I’m okay
Can’t get in my way
In the steady lane
No loss I can’t regain
Attitude is key
To life’s mystery
What you expect
Is what you get
Looking for bad news
Get in line to lose
Trust that life is okay
Problems shrink away
Nothing fancy, not high tech
Just an attitude reset
That’s all there is to it
It’s barely a scratch
What’s the catch?
No problem, I’m okay
Can’t get in my way
In the steady lane
No loss I can’t regain
Attitude is key
To life’s mystery
Barely a scratch
(Just ice it, you’re fine)
