I'm here with my friends We're gonna stick it through the end No matter what the odds are We're gonna stick it through the end We've always got each others back from the very start We're all together, we're never gonna fall apart

[Verse] After highschool I've been kicked out of my house being told that I'm just getting too old so I packed my bags and now im heading out to a world that I don't even know, I'm feeling numb from my head to my toes growing up in the real world blows and I'm afraid my life wont prove what I want to show what i want to show [Chorus] Sometimes I know it can be crazy living on your own (living on your own) growing up aint easy but I'll tell you that I've been there we'll be fine you're alright just believe me. [Verse 2] Life's moving way too fast for my own liking I take my time sorting things out in my head Things are really getting pretty frightening Everyday I wish I could stay in my bed But there's just too much going on, I just gotta keep moving on Never look back until I'm gone, I'm nothing more than just a pawn But I know today, I'll leave my mark this day Things were never ever ever gonna work this way [Pre Chorus] I've got this life to live, and what more can I give I'm moving forward past my own mistakes I've got this life to live, but what else can I give We're moving forward no matter what it takes [Chorus] Sometimes I know it can be crazy living on your own (living on your own) growing up aint easy but I'll tell you that I've been there we'll be fine you're alright just believe me.

Well I can barely see my future, it's right at the end our lives, where our stories are yet to be told, I'll let the wind take me when its my time Im at the start ready to go where I can feel my journey on the drive, I'll just put all my worries to the side, I'm all set and now it's my time to shine VERSE I'm getting up, I'm getting started on my way to the top There's nothing left here but determination I swear I'm giving this all I've got Don't cross my path, don't try to make me stop Man ain't it crazy that ive ended up here It's already been a really bumpy road but I'm staying till the end and ill never forget I'll make it out, I'll make it out alive VERSE 2 Let's kick it off, we'll hit the road we're never gonna stop I made it this far without your judgement no slacking off, we'll never know what we can really do cause life ain't ez yeah that's what I meant. [Breakdown] All of this these things are circling in my head at the same time, at the same time x2 [Outro] I'm here with my friends yeah I'm here with my friends We all want to see what lies ahead - We've always got each others backs from the very start - We're all together, we're never gonna fall apart

[Verse 1] We ARE always searching for the things that keep us here There's NO turning back now This time we face our fears I'll take my chances making those mistakes I'll learn for myself what it means to give or take Find my own ways to deal with hate [Chorus] What's the point of backing down we're just trying to find the answers we won't stop until you're in the ground cause its not me, it's you that's keeping me down [Verse 2] It's A struggle when you find out you're all alone Make THE best of life now, don't ever doubt your own This time it's our turn to take what's ours There's no limit here we're reaching for the stars We'll stand together never fall apart Never fall apart! [Pre Chorus] Just remember that we've won The struggles now long gone we've already won [Chorus] What's point of backing down we're just trying to find the answers we won't stop until you're in the ground cause its not me its you thats keeping me down What's point of backing down we're just trying to find the answers we won't stop until you're in the ground we've made our choice and we're not sticking around [Get Rekt] All those times you said we'd never make it out Well don't look now cause I'm tearing this place down EEEEAAAAGH EEYA-A-A-A-A-EAUGH UEEA-A-A-A-A-UHH

[Verse 1] This isn't what you expected to see I'm making progress, just hoping you see this And all I want is to be set free It's time you found out what it's like to be me. [Chorus 1] I'm trying my hardest not to disappoint you I'll travel my farthest just so I could see you Making decisions was never my strong suit Just hoping you feel this the same way that I do. I'll keep my thoughts to myself cause that's where they should stay I'm losing all sense of self What could be wrong with me? Growing up isn't what I wanted But giving up isn't where I'm headed. [Verse 2] This isn't who I expected to be. Is this progress really progress or is it just me? All I need is more time, just more time you'll see, My indecision was decision and now it's wrecking me. [Solo] [Bridge] I'm never moving past this, I'll always be a sad kid but you won't have to deal with me cause I'll be the person I was meant to be [Chorus 2] I'm trying my hardest not to disappoint you I'll travel my farthest just so I could see you Making decisions was never my strong suit Just hoping you feel this the same way that I do. I'll keep my thoughts to myself cause that's where they should stay I'm losing all sense of self What could be wrong with me? Growing up isn't what I wanted But giving up isn't where I'm headed.

AWWWW YEAH!! VERSE 1 I'm with my friends and I feel like I'm right at home we're playing Smash and they know they're all getting owned Now they're leaving and I'm left here all alone I hope they come back cause they wont pick up their phones. Now who will help me with these gang vocals. I'm at a loss for words (I'm at a loss for words!) This just sucks, much like this album life is tough, it couldn't get any worse VERSE 2 I burned through all the movies that I owned Thought I had something to do but I guess I don't All my friends went to sleep three hours ago I'll just pretend I'm in a different timezone Someday soon, I will pack up my things and move Far away from this deadbeat town Me and my friends have it all figured out FOOTBALL Tennis???

[Verse] What are the things that we live and we fight for we're getting closer to The place that we aimed for I'm sick of where ive been I wish I had something more Than these days wasted doing something that I hate MORE THAN ANYTHING, ARE YOU LISTENING The thought of leaving sounds just great MORE THAN ANYTHING, ILL PACK ALL MY THINGS AND GO!!! [Prechorus] To the places we never thought we'd ever see become the person we never thought we'd ever be I make my choices like water on the open sea I take my chances just hoping it will set me free I keep on thinking what if there's something wrong with me Impulsive tendencies are making me the enemy [Chorus] Things couldn't get any worse I wish that I could leave I think I'm making things worse It's really scaring me x2 [Verse 2] I couldn't think of another place to stay I made it far enough without your help, I'm doing okay THIS ISN'T EASY I'M STILL TAKING THIS IN, IM GONNA BE FAR AWAY, YOU'LL NEVER KEEP ME HERE Yet here I am making all the same mistakes again WILL I EVER LEARN, MAYBE ITS NOT MY TURN Just one more day, I'll be gone yeah I'll be on my way WILL I EVER LEARN, WHERE'S THERE LEFT TO TURN? [Breakdown] GO! [Outro] Things couldn't get any worse -I wish that I could leave I think I'm making things worse -It's really scaring me If I could only have things figured out then we could work it out, let's just talk about If we could only figure things out we'd be just fine, yeah we'd be alright.
