The Right Things

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been running down this road

Don't even know where I'm going half the time

I've been hiding in my phone

I have been missing all the moments and trying to find

I've been pushing back regret

I've been lost inside my head

I've been wandering around like a ghost

But I wanna hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest

'Cause time's worth more than money

And I'm done buying what won't last

'Cause the years are just a vapor

And this life is just a breath

I wanna hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest

I've been wearing myself out

Trying to get this off the ground on my own

Yeah, I've been carrying this weight

Feeling that something's gotta change, God, I know it

Oh God, I know it

I've been pushing back regret

I've been lost inside my head

I've been wandering around like a ghost

But I wanna hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest

'Cause time's worth more than money

And I'm done buying what won't last

'Cause the years are just a vapor

And this life is just a breath

I wanna hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest

You're the one thing that will last forever

So I'm done holding on to what won't matter

You're the one thing that will last forever

So I'm done holding on to what won't matter

You're the one thing that will last forever (oh, oh)

So I'm done holding on to what won't matter (you're the only thing)

You're the one thing that will last forever (oh, oh)

So I'm done holding on to what won't matter

I wanna hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest

'Cause time's worth more than money

And I'm done buying what won't last

'Cause the years are just a vapor

And this life is just a breath

So hold on to the right things

And let go of the rest
