What I’m Here For

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're uncertain and you're unwell Rags to riches but your heart can't tell That don't mean you're going to hell But that's how the story goes You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes But all you care about is death and taxes Being famous takes too much practice I wish it wasn't so I spent my twenties in the lights of the disco Trying to prove that I could be a hero There were times when it felt like I was winning But looking back, it only lasted a minute I watched my friеnds take over the radio All it did was drill a holе in my ego I forgot what goodness was outside my window Ain't that the way the story goes? [Chorus] I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for I feel like we could find it If we knocked on Heaven's door I'd say, "God, I'm only human" You'd say, "That's what I'm here for" [Verse 2] I spent my teens making out in the stairwell Inside a church that went long 'cause the spirit fell I was really trying to mean something to someone But at the time I just thought that it was fun [Chorus] I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for I feel like we could find it If we knocked on Heaven's door I'd say, "God, I'm only human" You'd say, "That's what I'm here for" [Post-Chorus] La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la [Chorus] I don't need silver linings I don't need so much more I just need room to be wrong sometimes That's all I'm hoping for
