What I'm Here For

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 friends take over the radio

All it did was drill a hole in my ego

I forgot what goodness was outside my window

Ain't that the way the story goes

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

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

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

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
