Lyrics

Yeah, it's a weird place to be

You look around and everything is good

The family's solid, the career's right

But the chest, mate, the chest feels heavy

This is squeeze

I look at the calendar, the days are moving fast

Sandwiched in between the future and the past

I got work that I love, yeah, I'm grateful for the pay

I got a wife that holds me down every single day

So why I wake up feeling like I'm running out of breath?

Like I'm playing a game of chess against death

It ain't depression, man, it's just the weight of the design

Trying to keep the stars and the planets all aligned

I'm managing the ego, managing the bills, managing the climb

Up the steepest kind of hills

You get to the middle and you realize the truth

You ain't got the infinite energy of the youth

You got responsibilities that anchor you to ground

You scream inside a room and you never make a sound

I'm squeezed from the bottom, squeezed from the top

Running on a wheel that's never gonna stop

(I don't wanna be alone)

I surrender the control of the things I can't change, yeah

(I don't wanna be alone)

Even when the plan is looking all familiar and strange, yeah

I'm blessed beyond measure but I'm tired to the bone

I'm trusting in you, Jesus, I know I'll never be alone

All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

It's the midlife squeeze, yeah, the walls closing in

Trying to figure out where the ending will begin

I look at my parents and I see them getting older

I look at our child, see his story unfold

And I'm the bridge in the middle holding weight

Trying to keep the sadness and the fear outside the gate

It's a blessing though to be the one that they trust

But sometimes the iron starts to crumble into rust

I'm tired of the hustle, tired of the grind

I just want a little bit of peace inside the mind

I don't need a jet, I don't need a yacht

I just need to be content with the blessings that I got

So I embrace the squeeze, yeah, I let the pressure build

Knowing that the destiny is gonna be fulfilled

Standing at the center, hands to the sky

Watching all the days and the seasons fly by

Everything is good but everything is heavy

I'm keeping the hands and the spirit steady

I'm grateful for the squeeze

Yeah, it shows you what I'm made of

Lord, now show me what I'm made of

(I oh oh oh)

I surrender the control of the things I can't change, yeah

(I don't wanna be alone)

Even when the plan is looking all familiar and strange, yeah

I'm blessed beyond measure but I'm tired to the bone

I'm trusting in you, Jesus, I know I'll never be alone

All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

Yeah, if you're feeling the squeeze

It just means you're carrying something valuable, don't drop it

This is the ups and downs of life

The rollercoaster of life

But you got this
