Well, the hype machine wants to sell you paint dripping
Genius in the subway trying to beat out a living
Music and money make the world go round in a fist fight
This time who's winning?
Me, I'm laying here staring at the ceiling
Wanna play, wanna say something I believe in
Wanna bottle that firefly feeling, get this right
Make a rhyme, make a reason
Every time I'm singing
I find a line I can lean into
Make it mean something
Make it mean something
Every time I'm singing
I find a line I can lean into
Make it mean something, something, something
Something
Something
True
Something
True
Running this road down more than a decade
Trying not to sputter and die in the ashtray
One night only
Whiskey for the lonely heartbreak
Coffee for the headache
Playing even when I can't win for losing
Never really feels like a thing I'm choosing
Mistakes and lucky bones
Breaks in good measure
Composing music
And every time I'm singing
I find a line I can lean into
Make it mean something
Gotta make it mean something
Every time I'm singing
I find a line I can lean into
Make it mean something
Something
Something
True
Something True
Something True
Life is what you make it
So I don't have to take it as it comes
I can write a good one
Make a rhyme, make a reason
Every time I'm singing
Find a line I can lean into
Make it mean something
I've got to make it mean something
I've got to make it mean something
Every time I'm singing
There's a highlight I'm clinging to
Something
True
Something
True
Oh, oh, oh.
