about

I've been busy for years. I don't know how to sit still. This is a problem. When friends have days off on tour I'm always envious. I wish I had them as well, but I am getting better at scheduling them in. When Tessa was hospitalized I was helpless. This was good. I had to see how much I found comfort in staying busy. I want to learn to relax and not be in control. This song was written a few nights after my friend Ryan Remains covered, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”

lyrics

Chorus:

Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Yes I've got a little problem and it's rubbing off on you

see I'm constantly buzzing and moving all around
I've got so much insecurity I can't let myself slow down
but the circle must be broken yes the wheel it must be jammed
because I'm not who I'm meant to be and I gotta find to who I am

Chorus:

Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Yes I've got a little problem and it's rubbing off on you

see I've tried to prove my value and that's a stupid as it sounds
I thought if I could just work hard enough my dreams they would be found
but the circle must be broken and the wheel it must be jammed
because I'm not who I'm meant to be and I've gotta find who I am

Chorus:

Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Well I've gotta find out & I gotta know now what you're gonna want me to do
Yes I've got a little problem and it's rubbing off on you

but in the end it's inconclusive if I've accomplished everything
by pressing through to all my goals with false realities
but the circle must be broken and the wheel it must be jammed
because I'm not who I'm meant to be & I've gotta find who I am
