[Verse 1]

You just turned 21, so lately, you've been drinking

Wasted on alcohol you chase to fight the feeling

Thinking 'bout letting go, would that be easy for you then? Yeah

So lay with me, lay with me, we're underneath the bleachers

Stay or leave, stay or leave, I hope you're never leaving

All of these memories crawling underneath your skin, skin (Oh, oh)


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you're in pain, but who's to blame?

All our lives, it never ends


[Chorus]

Yeah, alright

You gotta hold on tight

Yeah, alright, alright


[Verse 2]

Don't believe everything

The shit you like gives you anxiety, but finally

I see you smiling when you say you need privacy

You're only hiding from yourself, mmm, oh

I say I'm fine, coming home

I see the sun come up and shut the blinds

Episodes, I know I never take my own advice when I'm wrong

But I can't do it by myself, oh


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you're in pain, but who's to blame?

All our lives, it never ends


[Chorus]

Yeah, alright (Alright)

You gotta hold on tight

Yeah, alright

You gotta hold on tight


[Bridge]

'Cause I'm in pain, but I'm to blame

To end this fight, I have to change


[Chorus]

Yeah, alright

Hold on tight

Yeah, alright

Hold on tight
