lyrics

I like to wake up
I like to wake up in a place I've been before
It's not easy
It's not easy letting go and moving on
But I try

None of this makes any sense to me
As far as I can tell, there's no guarantees for us
Just our hearts to trust when it feels right, it feels right
I'm fine, I feel fine

Life is such a fucked up mixed up mess
From which you're supposed to sculpt some happiness
So you build a wall, a wooden picket fence
Just to find a piece of permanence
But it all keeps crashing down
So you build up from the ground

And I try, I try
I'm fine, I feel fine
You're the only thing that get me through
The only thing that I will hold on to
Together we can make it me and you
And when it all comes crashing down
We just build up from the ground
