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 friеnds take over the radio
All it did was drill a holе 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

La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

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
