I take it with a grain of salt I can't think it's all my fault The world's spinnin' round while my eyes trace the ground Never knowing the time that I've lost If I crawl all the way back in my mind A dark cloud I'm surely to find But storms never scared me, and if you're the bettin' kind You could bet on a heart like mine There's times I've been rough, I've been a little too rowdy Been a little too selfish, 'cause I needed a friend Whether I'm up or I'm down, or this dream's gettin' cloudy I'll write it all down, it's progress again There is hope in persistence Just like a hymn that you hear in the distance If there's truth to be told, don't you let it grow cold And be careful with that weight that you hold There's times I've been rough, I've been a little too rowdy Been a little too selfish, 'cause I needed a friend Whether I'm up or I'm down, or this dream's gettin' cloudy I'll write it all down, it's progress again Progress again Progress again Progress again (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
