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 '20s in the lights of the disco
Trying to prove that I could be a hero
And 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
