Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm turning off my radio
'Cause I can't stand to know
Why everything's so terrible
[Verse 2]
I'm switching off my telephone
It feels like a second home
But I'm not sure it's that comfortable.
[Verse 3]
Got this world in our hands
Like a pearl in a clam
We're letting go
[Verse 4]
Why is everything so hopeless?
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
How the hell are we still coping
When everybody feels so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
But what do I know?
[Verse 5]
I wanna go grab a megaphone
And scream till my lungs are gone
Wake up the world and let them know
[Verse 6]
Ayy, you can't just wait until your older
To take the weight up off your shoulders
If it makes you cry
You're probably doing alright
[Verse 7]
Got this world in our hands
Like a pearl in a clam
We're letting go
[Verse 8]
Why is everything so hopeless?
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
How the hell are we still coping
When everybody feels so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
[Verse 9]
But what the hell do I know?
But what the hell do I know?
But what the hell do I know?
But what the hell do I know?
[Verse 10]
Why is everything so hopeless
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
How the hell are we still coping
When everybody feels so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean-sized open hole
