Gotta Figure This Out Lyrics

I separated my heart from my head
to fill out what's inside.
i don't like what i see so i say goodnight.
don't wake me cause i'm dreaming in color.
black and white is not my friend.
candy-coated figures hold me in my bed.

i've never been so deep inside a shadow.
i've never been so insecure of what i know.

i gotta figure it out.
i need a story to tell.
where's the feeling i long for?
i've gotta figure it out
before i lose you, love.

big city streets are calling me loud.
the busy keeps me high.
but this crowded town is wearing me down tonight.
well i know that i should stay here for a while
listening to the sound
of my shaky heart looking for gold in the ground.

i've never been so deep inside a shadow.
i've never been so insecure of what i know.

i gotta figure it out.
i need a story to tell.
where's the feeling i long for?
i've gotta figure it out.
before i lose you,
before i lose you, love.

it's not okay to make your way
to make you wonder why i can hold you close
and give you hope
that this will be alright.
i wanna make it right.

i gotta figure this out.
i need a story to tell.
where's the feeling i long for?
i've gotta figure it out.

i gotta figure this out.
i need a story to tell.
where's the feeling i long for?
i've gotta figure it out.
before i lose you,
before i lose you,
before i lose you, love
