“Oooo,” you say, “I can’t take anymore In my head it plays like a broken record How many? How can I? Why’s it me all the time?”
Keep your words They won’t fix anything All that works is the love that you bring “Oooo”, you say “I can’t take anymore In my head it plays like a broken record”
And you say... “How many? How can I? Why’s it me all the time?”
Slow your breathing No more scheming Quit competing Just love
And everyone will wonder You did not go under You were undercover Wearing love
Love, Love Looooove! And you won't have to say: Do I have to forgive ‘em? Do I have to forgive ‘em?
"How many? How can I? Why’s it me all the time...forgiving?”
Keep your words They won’t fix anything All that works is the love that you bring
Bigger Than Your Box ALBUM LYRICS
EVER STAY
Take it all Take all that I am Take my faults, my pride, and my plans How I live, there's no room for you How you try, but never get through Take it all Take all that I've done My hearts so tired No breath in my lungs See these hands too heavy to lift I don't have anything else left to give Still you Ever stay By my side Every low Every high Sink or swim If I die Ever by my side Highest of heights Deepest of depths Down in the valley of shadows of death Nowhere I hide that you cannot go No place, no shadow that isn't your home Still you Ever stay By my side Every low Every high Sink or swim If I die
Ever by my side
BY THE FIRE
I wanna be by the fire By the heat Let it cover me The cold gonna come Like a liar Tryna’ blow through me Tryna’ make me weak (2x) First it hovers Then it covers Like a tower Overpower Push you down Shake your ground Make you think No one's around Take your spirit Steal and kill it Tell you lies and you believe it Pay no mind to how it tries you You can't let it Don't you let it Overtake you Try to shake you Push and pull and bend and break you Spirit in man This is your land Fight that demon Til’ you're a free man This is your war You hide no more Stand to your feet Open the door Courage guide you Deep inside you You can't say it
You must SHOUT it I wanna be by the fire By the heat Let it cover me The cold gonna come Like a liar! A liar! A liar! A liar! Tryna’ blow through me Tryna’ make me weak I wanna be by the fire By the heat Let it cover me
YOU BETTA’
You say you don’t want anything Just a little bit of time Won’t ask for anything Just want a little peace of mind When people look at you They’ve all a sudden got something else to do Heavy the load but the hands are few You say you don’t know anything And nobody wants to talk They’ve all got places to be Not even a minute to stop When people look at you They’ve all a sudden got something else to do Heavy the load but the hands are few You betta/’ step out that box You betta’ stand up and talk You betta’ step out that box You betta’ stand up and walk You betta/’ step out that box You betta’ stand up and talk You betta’ step out that box You betta’ stand up and walk
LAST TIME
I don't talk to you at all It's like the walls they build up on their own I don't look at you at all Every look it cuts into my bones I don't speak of you at all I have said every word I can say But I think of you with all my love And that will keep my heart at bay But... This is the last time I write about you Try to come unglued Talk about something new This is the last time living in the past Try to make you last but you don't You always think I'm so stuck up At least how your silence makes me feel But I don't have much to go off So I don't know if that is even real And I don't speak to you at all I have said every word I can say But I think of you with all my love And that will keep my heart at bay But... This is the last time I write about you Tryin’ to come unglued Talk about something new This is the last time living in the past Try to make you last but you don't I say to myself... You don't even know what you're missing While you're sitting, waiting for someone else to change Waiting for someone to call your name
Don't you even know all your waiting It is taking all the joy that you have You don't love, you don't laugh So... This is the last time I write about you Tryin’ to come unglued Talk about something new This is the last time living in the past Try to make you last but you don't
HOLD ON
Like a candle burnin’ in the dark Like the good skin underneath a scar It's not what you want but your hope is coming Like an oak tree underneath the ground A small seed waiting to come out It's not what you want but your hope is coming Life takes all you got, but your hope is coming C'mon girl hold on You will find your song C'mon man stay here You are not your fear You put up walls but someone pulls them down You think for help but they kick you to the ground It's not what you want but your hope is coming Life takes all you got, but your hope is coming It's not what you want but your hope is coming C'mon girl hold on You will find your song C'mon man stay here You are not your fear Bigger than your box Breaking off the locks Unassuming fire
Burnin' up the lies C'mon girl hold on You will find your song C'mon man stay here You are not your fear This is not what you wanted This is not what you asked for You didn’t need any of this You never saw this comin’ Oh it’s not what you asked for Oh it’s not what you wanted And you wanna give up But hold on
GIVE A LITTLE
I wish you were easy Spent some time with me But you talk to everyone except me Makes me think you don't want me I wish I were simple Gave in just a little But I talk to everyone except you So how can I blame you? How can I blame you? Honestly I'm a little nervous Not practiced or polished or perfect But maybe we can trade anxieties I'll talk to you if you will talk to me Won’t you give a little Won’t you live a little Won’t you love a little Won't you love, won't you love, won't you love Why so complicated
Living our lives so isolated And you look the other way to avoid me Don't you know that that hurts me Don't you know that that hurts me Don't you know that that hurts me If you would just Give a little Live a little Won’t you love a little Won't you love, won't you love, won't you love
Full
Do you listen when everybody says you’re wrong Do you talk and talk and talk. Do you talk too long Are you important to everyone you meet I see how you walk, walk, walk in the middle of the street Do you think everybody’s crazy Cause they don’t think like you do Are they lazy Cause they don’t work like you Are we slow ‘Cause we don’t get your jokes Do you have lots of money Does that make us broke Fool, so full You eat yourself Room, no room For anyone else For anyone else In the middle of the crowd You are big, you are loud But you talk for yourself What you talkin’ about It’s simple You’re on top of the box
They can listen and learn But they hate when you talk Because you’re a... Fool, so full You eat yourself Room, no room For anyone else For anyone else
SAY GOODBYE
Breathe Take a deep breath Lift your eyes Lift your head Say goodbye Don’t look back Let the dead bury the dead You have mission And a voice And a vision Say goodbye Don’t look back Leave your load No need for that And you may want to go back where you’ve come But there’s nothing for you And it’s not an option You can’t go back knowing what you know Oh there’s nothing for you And it’s not an option Far as you can Deep as you can go Out of your safety Into the unknown Out of your worry
Out of your regrets Out of your failures And the things that haven’t happened yet Onto the next page Onto a new phase Into the future And the places you have never been This is not for you This is not for show If you never step out There are places you will never go And you may want to go back where you’ve come But there’s nothing for you And it’s not an option You can’t go back knowing what you know Oh there’s nothing for you And it’s not an option Breathe Take a deep breath Lift your eyes Lift your head Say goodbye Don’t look back Let the dead bury the dead
I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
Everyone thinks they know the truth Everyone wants to hold onto youth But the older you get The more you regret And you know you don’t know anything I live my life as best as I can Try to give respect to every man But that don’t make better I thought that made me better I don’t know anything
Still I think I’m the boss I think I’m the Savior But every moment I act like a hater I thought that I was better But that don’t make me better I don’t know anything Ooooo Someone will always be smarter than you Someonne will always run faster than you But That don’t make them better Won’t make you the lesser ‘Cause they don’t know anything And you don’t know anything Still you think you’re the boss You think you’re the Savior But every moment You act like a hater You thought that you were better But that don’t make you better You don’t know anything Ooooo You are not as big as you think Still you think you’re the boss (4x) You are not as big as you think... Still you think you’re the boss You think you’re the Savior But every moment You act like a hater You thought that you were better But that don’t make you better You don’t know anything I think I’m the boss I think I’m the Savior But every moment
I act like a hater I thought that I was better But that don’t make me better I don’t know anything Ooooo
WALK
You got it all, big and small You don't need anything You take what you want Leave what you don't Say it won’t hurt anything When you walk You hold your head high You don't have to try Because you got everything When you talk, they see a light Everything is soundin’ right But you don't do what you say Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God When you do, you're in view Everybody's lookin' at you And you feel so alive What does it take, to do it right Even when there's no spotlight To do what you say To... Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God. Walkin,’ keep on walkin. Walkin’, keep on walkin. There's no need to wait around wondering what you're gonna do Nobody's looking at you There's no waiting for the right time to move And everyday when you wake you give all that it takes of you
For all that it breaks in you There's no wrong time to move Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God
ASSURANCE
I need assurance that you are here I need assurance you can feel what I feel I need assurance I need endurance for the day Long is the road Narrow is the way I need endurance War all around But I got both feet on the ground One foot in front of the other No more runnin’ for cover One foot in front of the other No more runnin’, runnin’ I need peace in my heart When the world around me Is tearing itself apart I need peace Assurance Endurance Long is the road Narrow is the way The Way
