Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scratch-off ticket for the education lottery
Found him drowned in the creek
Face was puffy
They hung his dirty jersey up in a trophy case
Next to his girlfriend in a picture with a varsity face
[Chorus]
I wound up here by holdin' on
Your faceless fear gathers like a mob
Wound up here by holdin' on
I wound up here by holdin' on
[Verse 2]
Started the highway, then ran out of money
So we meet up at the on-ramp, drink 20/20
Weeds grew into the springs of the trampoline
You saw a pitbull puppy pissin' off a balcony
[Chorus]
I wound up here by holdin' on
I wound up here by holdin' on
Wound up here by holdin' on
I wound up here by holdin' on
[Bridge]
Misread your name at the wake
Snack from a vending machine
Like a smack on the ass
At the back of a dream
Mounted antlers in the kitchen on a crooked nail
Other killers keep teeth, keep the fingernails
[Outro]
I wound up here by holdin' on
You reappear before I noticed you were gone
Wound up here by holdin' on
I wound up here by holdin' on
