Checking Out lyrics - Ari Hest

Tell me to try

Tell me I'm good

Tell me I've been misunderstood

Tell me I'm doing all I am supposed to do

Teach me to see with faith in my eyes

That love that I seek is there in disguise

It's hard to hang in when you're

So used to checking out

Tell me you know the struggle I feel

And what it'll take in order to heal

Tell me you found a way to circumvent

Sing me a song to drown out the noise

To reset me now with infinite poise

It's hard to keep up when you

So used to checking out

My mind is a taxing maze

The tricks that it needs to play

I talk to it like I'm somebody else which is

Surely an issue unto itself so

Tell me to try

Tell me I'm good

Tell me it's going just how it should

Tell me the payoff's certainly worth the wait

Stay with me here to praise and to guide

Prove to me you're along for the ride

It's hard to hang in when you're

So used to checking out

So hard to hang in when you're

So used to checking out

(Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang

Hard to hang)

So hard to hang in when you're

So used to checking out

(Hard to hang)
