[Verse 1]

The coffee shop we met at got priced out

It happened without warning

One spring day they just shut down

Berkeley shrugged and rolled its eyes

Luxury condos won the prize

That empty corner building breaks my heart on each drive by

The warehouse we threw shows at disappeared

I know its days were numbered

It only lived for a couple years

Oakland didn’t really care

One less taproom to share the air

So they scrubbed all evidence it’d ever been there


[Pre-Chorus]

How do we define the life we try to live together

When all the landmarks that we claim don’t last?

Just repeat to yourself


[Chorus]

Everything’s gonna be alright

Eventually it’s gonna be fine

Do the healing that we need to do

Plant some roots and grow

It doesn’t matter where as long as there’s a view


[Verse 2]

The girl whose shoes I grew up in is dead

In her place stands the man I hope I’ve learned to be instead

Maybe landmarks aren’t everything

Cause I still can find my way around

This place that’s changed as much as I have since

{Chorus]

Everything’s gonna be alright

Everything's it’s gonna be fine

Do the healing that we need to do

Plant some roots and grow

It doesn’t matter where as long as it's with you

Everything’s gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be fine

Everything’s gonna be alright

Everything’s gonna be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be


[Verse 3]

Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s just growing up

Maybe it’s learning, maybe it’s feeling unconditional love

Everything’s changing and my arms are open wide

To fight for a future we wanna see with you right by my side


[Chorus]

Everything’s gonna be alright

I don’t know when, but it will

Everything’s gonna be alright

All you gotta do is

All you gotta do is

The only condition is survive


[Verse 4]

I know we all have to grow up someday and

I know you’re gonna find the love you want because

We’ve outlasted plenty of structures, plenty of venues and more

And I know, it’s not the end for you it’s just a rough patch

Some bad years to get through and one day

We can look back on this together and laugh

One day, it’s all going to be fine

One day, this pain will just be memory cause

I know everything's gonna be alright
