Little Things

I'm always the strong friend

Nobody asks how I'm doing

And some of my old friends

Changed so much that I don't recognize them

We were best friends when we were young

So why'd you have to go and become a cop?

I thought I knew you

Thought I knew all of us

Guess all the nights spent drinking in my backyard

Felt better than being alone like

When I was a kid on the schoolyard

But now I'm getting older

Starting to realize that the people that I thought were my friends

Were just people I was forced to be around

And now when I don't really have to be anywhere

I barely ever leave my house

Cause I was always a weird kid

Got good at playing pretend

Grew up and nothing is different

I just have lots of weird friends

And I love every one of you I don't say it enough

And I'm proud of all the things you do and what we've overcome

I'm always the strong friend

And I feel like I'm breaking

I've been having trouble sleeping

At night my thoughts start screaming

There's so many things wrong and I feel like

There's nothing I can do to fix it

I wanna have kids someday but I'm scared of the world

That we are leaving for them

And maybe I'm just freaking out about the little things

And it will all work out but I can't help but feel like

If I wanna build the future that I wanna see time is running out and I

Can't keep blaming people from my past for where I am right now

So I ain't mad at my parents they were just trying their best

Nobody knows what they're doing

We're all just sick of this

And I'm not mad at society it's only what we make it

So I hope we're taking steps today to tear it down to pieces

And I feel like all these little things

They might add up to something big

I think we're onto something

Yeah I think we're onto something

Yeah I feel like all these little things

They might add up to something big

And if we pick up all the pieces we can rebuild something different

Better than what we were given

Shout out to my friends who give me hope

On the days I dont want this for myself

I wouldn't be here without your help

And all the ones who got off this ride before it was your time

You give me the inspiration to make the best of what is left of mine

And to Bernard cause you're the one who told me

You changed your life through music

And to Nick cause you're the one who gave me the confidence to do it

And to Ashley cause I know that you would love this song

Pittsburgh will never be the same without you there singing along

And to Denis cause not a day goes by man that I'm not thinking of ya

And to my mom because you never even got to see me grow up

And to my friends who are here with me

I'm not saying let's take life seriously

But I'm serious about you staying alive

Cause I wanna grow old with all of you and never grow up

I wanna leave the world a better place than it was for us

Oh I wanna grow old with all of you and never grow up

I wanna leave the world a better place than it was for us

Oh I wanna grow old with all of you and never grow up

I wanna leave the world a better place than it was for us

And we'll throw the sickest basement shows in

Whatever shitty old folk's home they stick us in to die

And laugh about when we were kids and how beautiful it is to be alive
