Sometimes You’re the Hammer, Sometimes You’re the Nail

[Intro]

Start it

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

Take it away from me

You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait 'til I'm stumbling

Yo, I got it!

[Chorus]

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

(Take it away from me)

You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait 'til I'm stumbling

Go get carried away

[Post-Chorus]

Go!

[Verse 1]

And the fear sets in, in an instant

Too much of myself gets exposed

This is where I go at my weakest

When I don't have to be scared to tell the truth

[Pre-Chorus]

Tend to do my best when everything goes wrong

(Everything goes wrong)

That's why sad songs make me happy

'Cause I don't have to feel alone

[Chorus]

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

(Take it away from me)

You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait 'til I'm stumbling

No, you've got me wrong

Oh, the nights are long with no one else around

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

Go get carried away

[Verse 2]

It's never what you've done, it's what you've done lately

Who cares what you're sayin', if no one's listening

You don't have to like me, but you're gonna respect me (Respect me)

I that came from nothing, leave hope in my wake

[Pre-Chorus]

I got no regrets, but have my days with doubt

(Days with doubt)

To those left in sadness

I'll be the one to lead you out

[Chorus]

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

(Take it away from me)

You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait 'til I'm stumbling

No, you've got me wrong

Oh, the nights are long with no one else around

You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me

Go get carried away

[Bridge]

I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable

Reserve my right to be afraid

I make mistakes and I am humbled every step of the way

I want to be a better person, I wanna know the master plan

Cast your stones, cast your judgment

You don't make me who I am

I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable

Reserve my right to be afraid

I make mistakes and I am humbled every step of the way

I want to be a better person, I wanna know the master plan

Cast your stones, cast your judgment

You don't make me who I am

[Outro]

God help those who help themselves

And forget about everyone else

You lost your nerve, you missed the point

God help those with open hands

May they never feel burden again

Yeah, I'll stand up for those who can't

I'll close the distance
