[Verse]
Today I'm not myself
And you, you're someone else
And all these rules don't fit
And all that starts can quit
What a peculiar state we're in
What a peculiar state we're in

[Bridge]
Let's play a game where all of the lives we lead can change
Let's play a game where nothing that we can see, the same

[Chorus]
But we'll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slipping out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate, right now
We could take apart this life we're building and pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now, right now

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
But we'll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slipping out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate, right now
We could take apart this life we're building and pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now, right now

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
