Lyrics

Struggle

A, E, I, O, U

You, you, you and you

When are you coming back?

I try to face the facts

We promise not to feel and then we do

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

Me and me, me and me

All of the love notes

You said you sent and said you wrote

Are locked inside of me

I try to sing 'em free, but I don't have the key

The struggle is so real

The struggle is surreal

Just a dream from the other side

Keep your hands inside the ride

The struggle is surreal

W, X, Y, Z

You and me, you and me

Uphill cries and heavy sighs

Wine stained lips

And tear-stained eyes

The minus times and short goodbyes

The struggle is so real

The struggle is surreal

Dream from the other side

Keep your hands inside the ride

The struggle is surreal

The struggle is surreal, the struggle is surreal

Dream from the other side

The struggle is surreal, the struggle is surreal

Dream from the other side

The struggle is surreal, the struggle is surreal

You can dream from the other side
