about

This song is for anyone in the thick of the storm. For anyone facing the uncertainty and overwhelm, the fear and anxiety, the waning of hope staring up at those dark clouds. Your storm will pass. Our storm will pass. All storms do pass. On the other side there may be rubble, but it can be cleaned and built anew. Piece by piece. In the end it can create something more beautiful than you dreamed. Stronger than before. So hold on, just a little longer. Keep riding out this storm.

lyrics

They cut you loose at eighteen
said you're "on your own now"
but you just stopped taking bread without the crust
your granddad taught you how to drive
and said "you're on your way now
go make something of yourself you can be proud of."

CHORUS
but you don't have a dollar to your name
you're just living on the American dream
sleeping on your best friend's couch
you know you'll make it somehow
cuz whoever said they had it figured out
they're lying if they say they've figured it out

your friends head to the party
getting drunk on fountains of youth
"they just, wanna see you shine"
you're sneaking in the back door
of your favorite band
saying "someday you know this will all be mine."

CHORUS
but you don't have a dollar to your name
you're just living on the American dream
sleeping on your best friend's couch
you know you'll make it somehow
cuz whoever said they had it figured out
they're lying if they say they've figured it out

You've got to hold on hold on hold on a little longer
hold on hold on hold on a little longer
you've got to hold on hold on hold on a little longer
you've got to hold on hold on hold on
it'll make you stronger

sleeping on your best friend's couch
you know you'llmake it somehow
cuz whoever said they had it figured out
they're lying if they say they've figured it out
