lyrics

Pink and black, skin and bones
Anxiety attacks and the longing to be known
See I never let it go

Let your daughters stay late among the living dead
I will tell ‘em true stories of the monsters in their beds
Yeah, I know a thing or two
I got monsters in my head

But it’s okay
We’re punching up at all the problems pouring out on us
Trying to get a little where we can
Is that so wrong?
It’s such a rush
And there’s no way
You couldn’t hope to save yourself up for a rainy day
Kinda gotta roll with what you’re given
Then live and learn and look away

Summer sun’s fading light
The kids are holding on to a promise through the night
But someday they’ll let it go

When you’re old and worn, looking back
The promises are broken but the longing is still intact
A vision of what might’ve been
All dressed in pink and black

But it’s okay
We’re punching up at all the problems pouring out on us
Trying to get a little where we can
Is that so wrong?
It’s such a rush
And there’s no way
You couldn’t hope to save yourself up for a rainy day
Kinda gotta roll with what you’re given
Then live and learn and look away

Everything you ever wanted
Lived and died in a day
Everyone you ever knew
Was gone too soon

Pink and black, skin and bones
Anxiety attacks and the longing to be known

But it’s okay
We’re punching up at all the problems pouring out on us
Trying to get a little where we can
Is that so wrong?
It’s such a rush
And there’s no way
You couldn’t hope to save yourself up for a rainy day
Kinda gotta roll with what you’re given
Then live and learn and look away

Roll with what you're given now
Roll with what you're given now
Then live and learn
And look away
