[Verse 1]
We took our things and moved them out
To a small one bedroom on the west of town yeah
No money, no plan

[Verse 2]
And I love the way, the way you say
That somehow everything will be okay and
I'm doing all that I can

[Pre-Chorus]
But you gotta understand, well you gotta understand

[Chorus]
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up with me for now
We'll write our story, we'll live in careless clarity
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up to let you down
We'll write our story, we'll live so careless

[Verse 3]
These lifestyles aren't in harmony
And I'm sure one day it'll catch up to me cause
Cause I'm beaten and bruised

[Verse 4]
And I hate the way, the way I say
That every damn thing's gonna be okay
When it's far from the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'll never understand, no I'll never understand

[Chorus]
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up with me for now
We'll write our story, we'll live in careless clarity
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up to let you down
We'll write our story, we'll live so carelessly
They'll paint over all the walls, like we were never there at all
It scares me
Time prepares me
They'll paint over all the walls like we were never there at all
We'll write our story, we'll live so careless

[Bridge]
How long till I just drift away, how long can I just stay the same
How long till I just drift away, how long can I just stay the same
Stay the same

[Chorus]
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up with me for now
We'll write our story, we'll live in careless clarity
Well I'll hold you up, hold you up to let you down
We'll write our story, we'll live so carelessly
They'll paint over all the walls, like we were never there at all
It scares me
Time prepares me
They'll paint over all the walls like we were never there at all
