[Verse 1]

Can I try for something, far from a lie?

Can I speak without you changing my mind?

Industry could take the best of me

This industry could swallow all of me

[Chorus]

Hold on little sailor, it will be alright

I know you'll be braver, best behavior tonight

We got so close to the fame and the life

Watching the stars tonight

Little sailor, let's sail tonight

[Verse 2]

Can I live inside a bubble we call home?

Willing to do anything, if I write a hit song

And I'll ride this tide, I'll put some make-up on

And I'll shock the crowd, 'cause it will sell my song

[Chorus]

Hold on little sailor, it will be alright

I know you'll be braver, best behavior tonight

We got so close to the fame and the life

Watching the stars tonight

Little sailor, let's sail tonight

[Verse 3]

Six different managers, all filled with good intent

They promised me the world, I ain't seen nothing yet

Work hard to stay alive, work hard to pay the rent

Still need my mom and dad, they must be heaven sent

[Chorus]

Hold on little sailor, it will be alright

I know you'll be braver, best behavior tonight

We got so close to the fame and the life

Watching the stars tonight

Little sailor, let's sail tonight
