Common Problem Lyrics

I just want to be happy like the people I see
I just want to make friends with other people like me
I just want to make a song without rapping a verse
And maybe play a show where we didn't rehearse

I just want to take a walk in the city at night
Turn my phone off like I'm catching a flight
I want to speak the truth, with no reason to lie
I just want to come across like a reasonable guy

And if in all honesty you gave me a sign
Just to let me know, I wasn't wasting my time
Throw me a bone, you can bill me the cost
I just want to get back whatever I lost

Simple living got me feeling at home
Cutting ties made it easy to roam, I walk free
I can be the summer when I'm facing the rain
I just want to be reason why I never complain

Well you make me want to be someone
I was hollow and out of form
And I fell for you again
It's common problem

I just want to celebrate when I've got nothing to boast
And to raise a glass up with nothing to toast
I want to spend more time with people I know
And less time with people only coming to go

I want to move free, like it's good for the soul
I don't care about brick walls or border control
I've been waiting my time, now I'm timing my turn
Trying to get across all the bridges I burned

And If I ever fall back and my balance is gone
If nostalgia creeps in, just to lead me wrong
Will you pull me aside; let me know where I stand?
Or am I just another line in the sand?

Simple living got me feeling at home
Cutting ties made it easy to roam, I walk free
I can be the summer when I'm facing the rain
I can be the reason why I never complain

Well you make me want to be someone
I was hollow and out of form
And I fell for you again
It's common problem

Stand up if you're living your life
Stand up if you're living your life
And rise up for the people we lost
Rise up for the people we lost

Let me take a moment just to pay my respect
I just want a conversation, where I really connect
Let me throw it back like I'm passing the ball
If I remember the highs, I can rise in the fall

I just keep building up
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up

Well you make me want to be someone
I was hollow and out of form
And I fell for you again
It's common problem

I just keep building up
(It's a common problem)
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up
(It's a common problem)
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up
(It's a common problem)
I keep on building up slow
I just keep building up
It's a common problem
