lyrics

Think about what they said
The ones who’ve been there and back
Their motivation was the same
They've been down the same long track

Think about what they said
The ones who’ve been and gone
The things they did for good
To navigate right from wrong

But it’s hard to get quiet
It’s hard to get rest
It’s hard to restart now
To retake that test
It’s hard to stay focused
It’s hard to think straight
It’s hard to get started
When it’s already late

Think about what they said
The ones who’ve been there and back
Their motivation was the same
They've been down the same long track

Think about what they said
The ones who’ve been and gone
The things they did for good
To try to navigate right from wrong

But it’s hard to get quiet
It’s hard to get rest
It’s hard to restart now
To retake that test
It’s hard to stay focused
It’s hard to think straight
It’s hard to get started
When it’s already late
It's hard to get ready
It's hard to get set
It's hard to get going
When there's not much time left
It's hard shift over and
It's hard to get straight
It's hard to get started
When it's already late

Going back to square one
Before all this had begun
Life was simple and fun
Thought we were second to none, yeah
