All in Stride (feat. Passafire)

Without the clouds in the sky

We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines

The bad helps to define the good

The splinter is the cost of the wood

So take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

 

I ain’t been sober in a month cause I'm losing my conviction

At the end of a tunnel filled with all my bad decisions

I’m learning bad luck is the only kind I got

I've been burned, I've been fucked, it’s so much harder than I thought

If I’d just been born in Cali I'd already be a star

But I'm from the mid-Atlantic playing reggae in a bar

And I’ve been climbing up this hill so god damned long

The boy who wrote the lyrics ain’t the man singing the songs

 

Without the clouds in the sky

We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines

The bad helps to define the good

The splinter is the cost of the wood

So take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

 

And every single night

I turn out the light

Close my eyes and the demons show their face

And remind me that I'm about to conclude another day

Short of where I want to be and with no clue how to get there

And failure is a scent that I'm destined to always wear

Please God if you exist, help me cause it ain’t fair

I'm shouldering a burden and it's more than I can bare

 

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

 

Don’t doubt the sun is behind the clouds

No matter what you think it outta be about

Go tell the one you can’t be without

That you want to take time to know her better

Don’t doubt the clouds are temporary

Holding on to something that you wish you had plenty

But it’s bolted down to the concrete floor

You say you want less but I’m giving you more

Anyway I could say what you want me to say

I could recycle all the bullshit and become a cliché

I could take back all of my music and make everyone pay

I could do this, really do this, in a serious way

I wouldn’t waste my time

Looking at the sky

When everything I love

Is down here on the ground, would you listen to the sound bumping ugly

 

Without the clouds in the sky

We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines

The bad helps to define the good

The splinter is the cost of the wood

So take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride

Take it all in stride
