figure it out lyrics

I lost my balance and I fell to the floor
A different perspective, no less and no more
Gets harder to get up every time I go down
But the struggle to get up is what keeps me around

And out of all the things I know
I see that most of it comes slow
And the things that keep me on the ground
Are what I want around

So check that water before you go in
'Cause unseen changes might endanger your swim
And before you know it, you're carried away
And somebody somewhere might need you someday

And out of all the things I find
I'll keep the ones that keep my mind
And the things that plant me in the ground
Are what I want around

Here's the way that the deal goes down
Life's passed out and there's nothing you can do
About the fools around you, but keep your guard up
Remember to breathe

And I figure it out every now and then
When I look around at this place I'm in
Then I let someone pinch me
So I'll know I'm alive

And out of all the things I find
I'll keep the ones that keep my mind
And the things that plant me in the ground
