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 And 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
