[Verse 1]

First new friend at seventeen

Yeah, he showed me what a friend could mean

And he gave me friends that I still keep

Messed girls up, and now we don't speak

[Verse 2]

Cousin gone at twenty one

On a motorcycle ride gone wrong

And although I'll steal him for a song

I can't shape up and call his mom

[Verse 3]

I wish that I could make it clear

That the good exists despite the fear

And that life is just some tilted bet

On love and hope against regret

[Verse 4]

I'm singing at a wеdding soon

And I'm hoping for a night in June

That I can make myself bеlieve

Things just wrap up happily

[Chorus]

I swear to god I almost feel it

That something's gotta go my way

I'm worried that l'll never see it

That nothing's ever gonna change

I swear to god I still believe it

Even though I'm still afraid

They tell me winning's on the table

But only if I play the game

[Verse 5]

The weight of things at twenty three

We were choosing who we wanted to be

But we didn't think the world would test

Our sense of self with so much death

[Verse 6]

I met some guys and made my bet

And the inning isn't over yet

And though brothers were what we became

I know some brothers live estranged

[Chorus]

I swear to god I almost feel it

That something's gotta go my way

I'm worried that l'll never see it

That nothing's ever gonna change

I swear to god I still believe it

Even though I'm still afraid

They tell me winning's on the table

But only if I play the game

[Outro]

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh
