It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now close your eyes and spin around
Say hard times you could find that it ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright

Late at night do you lay around wondering
Counting all the lines, it ain't so funny now
Times are hard, you get this far, but it ain't the way that you want

I'll be damned if this old man don't start to counting his losses
But it's still alright

They say you learn a lot out there, how to scorch and burn
Gonna have to bury your friends, and then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge with no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Baby, just let go

Ain't tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say the glass is clear, but all this fear starts a leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands from your time in the dark
But it's still alright, still alright
Mm
