lyrics

That's me hopped up on energy drinks,
Swearing I'm seeing things and prone to overthink,
Driving 2am on a straight away,
Going way over 80 through Utah trying to stay awake,
I'm trying not to think of my friends,
'cause if I turn around now it's only 14 hours back to them,
Lost a part of my life to a lesser man,
But then again I left the ones I love to learn a lesson that

Things are all right where I am,
And they don't always go as planned

That's me staring at a screen,
Swear I'm gonna get this right or feel better by buying things,
Never one to put up a fight,
I need to know a place I can go just to feel alive,
I spent two nights sweating it out,
Discipline was easier with nobody else around,
It's been awhile since I wrote a song,
It's been a few weeks,
I think things are going alright 'cause...

Things are all right where I am,
And you describe us as my hands,
Things were shaky at first,
But confident when it counts,
Inside you're never reserved,
But covered up when you're out

I won’t pretend that I'm dying
I won’t let it take me out,
Don’t forgive me for not trying,
‘cause I want all to have what I have now

That's me coughing my soul out,
At a nervous pace to estimate what you wanna talk about,
A conversation that's building fear,
That if I lived a little closer,
We'd have a much bigger problem here

I won't consume myself to stardom,
I won't let you touch the ground,
I won't give into my hard heartedness,
'cause if it's not lost, it can't be found,
And if I'm not lost, I can't be found,
I'm pretty sure we're all.
