Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put down the reigns
Let go of the wheel
The better you'll feel
I'm in a daze
The traffic is real
And I'm not really here
[Verse 2]
I shoulda let go
Of things I can't control
They'll eat me whole from the inside
Maybe if I
Give myself enough rope
I can hang on what I know
But I know this fools gold doesn't taste right
[Verse 3]
Still, I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
[Verse 4]
The table is set
Plenty to eat
I'm just hungry for a different seat
I'm in my head, yeah
But so is she
Both looking around for what we need
[Verse 5]
I shoulda let go
Of things I can't control
They'll eat me whole from the inside
Maybe if I
Give myself enough rope
I can hang on what I know
And I know this fools gold doesn't taste right
[Verse 6]
Still, I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself, yeah
[Verse 7]
Read all the books
Could feed you some lines, yeah
But somehow I still believe my lies
[Verse 8]
I shoulda let go
Of things I can't control
They'll eat me whole from the inside
From the inside maybe I
Give myself enough rope
I can hang on what I know
But I know this fool's gold doesn't taste right
No, it don't taste right
[Verse 9]
Still I, can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
