Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take a hit, it'll help you calm down
I know that you're tired
Don't you wanna be one of the cool kids now?
One of the cool kids now
[Verse 2]
Get a grip, everybody gets around
Pull that dress a little higher
Everybody's doing just a little more now
Just a little more now
[Verse 3]
Hurry up, hurry up, make your choice
No one's gonna hear your voice
All of this anxiety
Creeping up inside of me, stop
[Verse 4]
We just need a little more love
People taking care of each other
You're my sister, you are my brother
We just need a little more love
Stop the hate and feed the kindness
Put all of the fear behind us
[Verse 5]
We just need a little more love
Love
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
[Verse 6]
Everybody knows that boys don't cry
Just keep it all inside you
You don't wanna show no one your weakness now
'Cause it's not allowed
[Verse 7]
They laugh at what you're wearing
And it's way overdone
Now your holding back tears, while you're holding a gun
If anyone would listen, even just one
Think of what could be done, think of what could be done
[Verse 8]
Hurry up, hurry up, make some noise
Someone's gonna hear your voice
All of this anxiety
Creeping up inside of me, stop
[Verse 9]
We just need a little more love
People taking care of each other
You're my sister, you are my brother
We just need a little more love
Stop the hate and feed the kindness
Put all of the fear behind us
[Verse 10]
We just need a little more love
Just need a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
[Verse 11]
We just need a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
[Verse 12]
Shine your light
'Cause you never know
Who's in the darkness
Please don't be heartless
[Verse 13]
Shine your light
'Cause only heaven knows
When someone's hurtin'
It's always worth it
[Verse 14]
We just need a little more love
People taking care of each other
You're my sister, you are my brother
We just need a little more love
Stop the hate and feed the kindness
Put all of the fear behind us
[Verse 15]
We just need a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
[Verse 16]
We just need a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more
Just a little more
Just a little more
