lyrics

I've got some problems, I'm sure you do too, mine are worse than yours, that much is true for sure, in all that I do for sure, I will work through for sure, all of these problems. But if I could trade away all of my shades of gray for somebody else's little life issues, that would not be a misuse of company money. But once I had all these new issues, I might miss the old ones I'm used to...

Throw your problems in a pile with everyone's, you don't know, you might put up a fight to get yours back.

I've got more problems than an elephant at sea, your problems let you float, my problems make me sink. My only problem with your problems is that they seem so easy. What's your problem with my problem with your problems? You say your's are hard to see, like an iceberg with such mass lurking below. Sometimes you've gotta hold on tight... and let go.

Throw your problems in a pile with everyone's, you don't know, you might put up a fight to get yours back.

Look at the pile at first and your contribution will seem like the worst, with no solution. Look at the pile more closely and you'll start to notice, other people's core problems will come into focus!

Throw your problems in a pile with everyone's, you don't know, you might put up a fight to get yours back.
