lyrics

I got a whole lotta problems that I choose to ignore
To keep a lookout for some good news
So if my eyes glaze over when we're talking
What does that say about you?

Check out this tunnel full of vision yeah it's ready to drive
A narrow alley motorway and I don't know who will survive
But they're lining up

And it's one more foot reaching for a ladder
One more hand reaching for the top
Every time the world outside gets in my ear begging me to stop
Well whaddya say?

I took a walk to the bar it was a little far
But it was worth it for the headliner
When the show was over he was there in the back
In a booth in a corner of a greasy diner, he said

"Don't ever learn too much about your heroes"
I got flustered, lost and confused
And when my heart got sober I poured it over
A glass of ice and I poked at the bruise

One more foot reaching for a ladder
One more hand reaching for the top
Every time the world outside gets in my ear begging me to stop
Well whaddya say?

I believe I can do better
Shackled to the drawing board

Shackled to the drawing board
I was shackled 'til my arms were sore
I believe I can do better

One more foot reaching for a ladder
One more hand reaching for the top
Every time the world outside gets in my ear begging me to stop
Well whaddya say?

I believe I can do better
Shackled to the drawing board

Shackled to the drawing board
I was shackled 'til my arms were sore
I believe I can do better

Do you believe I can?
Cuz I believe I can
I believe I can do better
