Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Me and Sam in the car, talking 'bout America
Heading to the wishing well, we've reached our last resort, and
I turned to him, said, "Man, help me out
I fear I'm on an island in an ocean full of change
Can't bring myself to dive in to an ocean full of change
Am I losing touch, am I losing touch now?"
[PreChorus]
He said, "Why, why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to overthinking, and
Why, why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to second-guessing, and"
[Chorus]
Hey, pretty smiling people
We're alright together, we're alright together
Hey, pretty shining people
We're alright together, we're alright together, hey
[Verse 2]
Took it in turns to dream about the lottery
What we might have done if we had entered and had won
We're each convinced that nothing would have changed
But if this were the case, why is it a conversation anyway?
Are we losing touch? Are we losing touch now?
[PreChorus]
He said, "Why, why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to overthinking, and
Why why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to second-guessing, and"
[Chorus]
Hey, pretty smiling people
We're alright together, we're alright together
Hey, pretty shining people
We're alright together, we're alright together, hey
[Bridge]
Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy
Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy
Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy
[Chorus]
Hey, pretty smiling people
We're alright together, we're alright together
Hey, pretty shining people
We're alright together, we're alright together
Hey, pretty smiling people
We're alright together, we're alright together
Hey, pretty shining people
We're alright together, we're alright together, hey
