Yeah, We're Alright
Come to, come here!
I know you hate me, it’s a breakdown
A call to your arms
I’m eyes and ears!
You’re right, I hate you and you know it
Déjà vu has lost its charm
You’re shoving rocks down my throat
My stomach’s full, but my heart is still blank
I’d pull the stars from the sky to make them shine
But you would never even thank me.
Why are you always kickin’ me when I’m down?
You put up a fight
When you put up with me
It’s been so long since I could see
The two of us in harmony!
So tell me why are you always kickin’ me when I’m down?
Sometimes I fear the faith I put in you
‘Cause you’re the one I put so much into
Yeah, we’re a mess
It’s papercuts, it’s temporary
Still, it stings to hear us shout
We’re not the best
At seeing through to better times now
Seems we’re always full of doubt.
I’m throwing sand in your eyes
So you can’t see, but you still look at me.
You pull my veins and hold them tight against your chest
Like there’s no place you’d rather be.
Tonight, we’ll come alive
We’ll see if you can shine
It’s been so long since I could see
You acting like you care about me!
So tell me why do you never listen to me when I’m down?
Why do you never hear me scream your name when I’m down?
Why do you never pick me up when I’m down?!
Why are you always kickin’ me when I’m down?
You put up a fight
When you put up with me
It’s been so long since I could see
The two of us in harmony!
So tell me why are you always kickin’ me when I’m down?
Sometimes I fear the faith I put in you
‘Cause you’re the one I put so much into
You were always there for me when I was down.
And you’ll put up a fight
When you put up with me
But it’s still clear as day to see
That you and me are still a team.
So I know why you’ll always pick me up when I fall down.
I’ll never fear the faith I put in you
‘Cause after all, we’re alright, we stay true!
I know you hate me, it’s a breakdown
A call to your arms
I’m eyes and ears!
You’re right, I hate you and you know it
Déjà vu has lost its charm
You’re shoving rocks down my throat
My stomach’s full, but my heart is still blank
I’d pull the stars from the sky to make them shine
But you would never even thank me.
Why are you always kickin’ me when I’m down?

This is meant to be a kind of duet - italicized text is when one person sings, bold text is when the other person sings, and regular text is where they sing in unison.(I wrote this for a band in one of my stories, actually, so the singers are characters in it, haha.)
