[Intro]
Ride

[Verse 1]
Got a firm and steady grip
Eye on the prize, I'll handle it
Trying to find motivation
While everything is crumbling

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I seem cheery on the outside
But it's all a lie I'm projecting, oh
What I wanna see when people look at me
But I'm not stable

[Chorus]
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm looking on the bright side
I'm balanced now, I won't fall
I'm in it for the ride
Not gonna throw my chance away
Not going to waste my time
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the ride

[Verse 2]
This year has felt like one long day
And every hour is the same
I won't lose sight of what could be
No matter how I'm struggling
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I seem cheery on the outside
But it's all a lie I'm projecting, oh
I don't wanna be perceived, know what I mean?
I'm a handful

[Chorus]
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm looking on the bright side
I'm balanced now, I won't fall
I'm in it for the ride
Not gonna throw my chance away
Not going to waste my time
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the ride

[Bridge]
Misery loves company, now I'm living in hell
I'm doing pretty well, I think, with the cards that I was dealt
Being locked up in my own head has been the biggest drag
Sick of waiting for me to go back to what I used to have

[Outro Chorus]
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm looking on the bright side
I'm balanced now, I won't fall
I'm in it for the ride
Not gonna throw my chance away
Not going to waste my time
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the ride
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm looking on the bright side
I'm balanced now, I won't fall
I'm in it for the ride
Not gonna throw my chance away
Not going to waste my time
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the ride
