Get Back Up Kid

You used to be happy

Then the happiness died

So you went to therapy

Once on a sadder day

And tried not to lie

But you haven’t done laundry

For like ten fucking weeks

You’re a shell of yourself

Blaming everyone else

For every god damn thing

You live in a glass house

And you never sleep

You’re closer to 30 than you are to 20

But man you still look like a boy to me

You’re drinking a little more

Cause you quit smoking weed

It was making you anxious

And making you say shit

That you didn’t mean

So scared to be vulnerable

Scared to be real

Scared that if you try too hard

And it don’t work out

That you won’t know how to feel

You better get back up kid

You better try

You better get back up kid

You’re not gonna die

It’s been a little while

Since you moved out of town

Guitar and a rental car

Playin in empty bars

Couple break downs

And you’re missing your parent’s house

Before all the shit

Before the labels and money

Tryna get lucky

Before you started saying

That you wanted to quit

The music was better then

The songs were legit

The bed was still on the ground

And Duff could still run around

Nostalgias a bitch

But maybe that’s what life’s about

And that’s as real as it gets

You gotta get knocked down

Gotta get fucked up

Cause there’s gotta be something to fix

You gotta get back up kid

You better try

Better get back up kid

You’re not gonna die

She keeps you laughing

In her sunflower hat

She’s wearing that necklace

And you’re making her breakfast

How could you want more than that

Stop waiting to find out

If you got that disease

Cause they loved each other

More than life itself

And life brought them to their knees

But you get back up kid

You better try

You better get back up kid

You’re not gonna die
