Common Problem - Intellectual

(Verse 1: Kerr)

I just want to be happy like the people I see

I just want to make friends with other people like me

I just want to make a song without rapping a verse

And maybe play a show where we didn’t rehearse

I just want to take a walk in the city at night

Turn my phone off like I’m catching a flight

I want to speak the truth, with no reason to lie

I just want to come across like a reasonable guy

And if in all honesty you gave me a sign

Just to let me know, I wasn’t wasting my time

Throw me a bone, you can bill me the cost

I just want to get back whatever I lost

Simple living got me feeling at home

Cutting ties made it easy to roam, I walk free

I can be the summer when I’m facing the rain

I just want to be reason why I never complain

(Chorus: John)

Well you make me want to be someone

I was hollow and out of form

And I fell for you again

It’s common problem

(Verse 2: Kerr)

I just want to celebrate when I’ve got nothing to boast

And to raise a glass up with nothing to toast

I want to spend more time with people I know

And less time with people only coming to go

I want to move free, like it’s good for the soul

I don’t care about brick walls or border control

I’ve been waiting my time, now I’m timing my turn

Trying to get across all the bridges I burned

And If I ever fall back and my balance is gone

If nostalgia creeps in, just to lead me wrong

Will you pull me aside; let me know where I stand?

Or am I just another line in the sand?

Simple living got me feeling at home

Cutting ties made it easy to roam, I walk free

I can be the summer when I’m facing the rain

I can be the reason why I never complain

(Chorus: John)

Well you make me want to be someone

I was hollow and out of form

And I fell for you again

It’s common problem

(Verse 3: Kerr)

Stand up if you’re living your life

And rise up for the people we lost

Rise up for the people we lost

Let me take a moment just to pay my respect

I just want a conversation, where I really connect

Let me throw it back like I’m passing the ball

If I remember the highs, I can rise in the fall

(Middle: Kerr, John & Jamie)

I just keep building up

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

(Chorus: John)

Well you make me want to be someone

I was hollow and out of form

And I fell for you again

It’s common problem

I just keep building up

(It's a common problem)

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

(It's a common problem)

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

(It's a common problem)

I keep on building up slow

I just keep building up

It's a common problem
