Lyrics

Trying to Survive

It ain't easy making money these days
It ain't easy keeping friends that stick around
Chips fall like a lemonade stand
I ain't selling that crap
Loose change in the palm of my hands
Trying to come out on top

Aren't we all in the same boat?
Taking on water
Yeah, we're all in the same boat

Tired of trying to survive
Tired of fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody, anywhere
Navigating complicated times
But I'm trying to survive

Straight-faced and I do what I can
Yeah, I keep it on lock
But on the inside I'm in a riptide
Trying to keep my head up

Don't we all share the same space?
Living and dying
We all come from the same place

Tired of trying to survive
Tired of fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody, anywhere
Navigating complicated times
But I'm trying to survive
Yeah, we're all trying to survive

It ain't easy making money these days
It ain't easy keeping friends that stick around
It ain't easy
It ain't easy

But I'm trying to survive
Yeah, I'm fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody, anywhere
Looking for a purpose here
Navigating complicated times
I'm just like everybody

Trying to survive (I'm just trying)
Tired of fighting for my life (I'm just trying)
I'm just like anybody, anywhere
Navigating complicated times (I'm just trying)
But I'm trying to survive (I'm just trying)

(I'm just trying) (fighting for my life)
(I'm just trying)
Trying to survive
(I'm just trying)
(I-I'm just trying)
(I'm just trying)
