What I'm Here For

[Verse 1]

You're uncertain and you're unwell

Rags to riches but your heart can't tell

That don't mean you're going to hell

But that's how the story goes

You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes

But all you care about is death and taxes

Being famous takes too much practice

I wish it wasn't so

I spent my twenties in the lights of the disco

Trying to prove that I could be a hero

There were times when it felt like I was winning

But looking back, it only lasted a minute

I watched my friеnds take over the radio

All it did was drill a holе in my ego

I forgot what goodness was outside my window

Ain't that the way the story goes?

[Chorus]

I don't need silver linings

I don't need so much more

I just need room to be wrong sometimes

That's all I'm hoping for

I feel like we could find it

If we knocked on Heaven's door

I'd say, "God, I'm only human"

You'd say, "That's what I'm here for"

[Verse 2]

I spent my teens making out in the stairwell

Inside a church that went long 'cause the spirit fell

I was really trying to mean something to someone

But at the time I just thought that it was fun

[Chorus]

I don't need silver linings

I don't need so much more

I just need room to be wrong sometimes

That's all I'm hoping for

I feel like we could find it

If we knocked on Heaven's door

I'd say, "God, I'm only human"

You'd say, "That's what I'm here for"

[Post-Chorus]

La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

[Chorus]

I don't need silver linings

I don't need so much more

I just need room to be wrong sometimes

That's all I'm hoping for
