"Own Advice" lyrics

This song goes out to the hypocrite in all of us

It's easy to pick out what's wrong from right
I see it as clearly, as dark from light
Wisdom for somebody else's life
If only I took my own advice

I say, "Watch your words, 'cause they make a sound
Fly high, but keep your feet on the ground
And don't let the day keep you up at night."
If only I took my own advice

Somehow
I can be in hell but point to heaven
Somehow
I can help the world but not myself

You may be full but before you pour
Sweep all the dirt from your own front door
The truth is more useful than views and likes
So, maybe just take your own advice

Somehow
I can be in hell but point to heaven
Somehow
I can help the world but not myself

Tell me who can save a savior?
Ooh, yeah

Hold on to purpose, but not your plans
Make sure your words line up with your hands
And don't be a fool, thinking that you're wise
And maybe just take your own advice

If only we'd take our own advice
Jonny, just take your own advice
