Waves will crash, the sun will rise
And I will always wake with foolish pride
Makin' plans, just to watch them unfold
I'm telling you brother it's a story that's always told
Said I'm telling you brother it's a story that's always told

Hold on to the ropes, but it breaks from my hands
Tryna gamble leave me a broken man
Can't change the past, can I control the future?
'Cause I'm telling you brother I ain't nobody's master
Said I'm telling you brother I ain't nobody's master
And that clock's gonna keep ticking forever faster

I ain't nobody's master
I ain't nobody's master
I ain't nobody's master
And that clock keeps ticking forever faster

Waves will crash, the sun will rise
And I will always wake with foolish pride
And nothing changes, nothings ever resolved
I'm telling you brother it's a story that's always told

And I guess that's what happens when you grow old
