What've I done this time?
Something burdening my mind
I'm getting older, getting closer,
Maybe just getting by
We all just keep on giving
You don't know the difference
Think that's living
God I wish I knew a bit less sometimes

Pretty pastels
A skirt you bought at TJMaxx
You're standing in the doorway
Beaming without knowing the way
The night'll take you down the alleyways
You thought you'd seen enough of

But I'll be with you, you know
You need to make those mistakes
But don't make them on your own
‘Cause I'll be with you, you know
And when you fall down just hit the ground running
And I'll be running with you
Running with you (x2)

Each day you wake up, a new disguise
And what you see, internalize
I wonder if our time thus far
Has added to your repertoire
Your act is a way of wasting time
You become those you criticize
And I don't know how to find where truth lies

And guess what the paper's gonna say when you wake?
If the loss of a life seems limitless
Just block what you can and bear what you take
We're just two people trying to find
A little meaning in these troubled times
They'll criticize, they'll criticize us

But I'll be with you, you know
You need to make those mistakes
But don't make them on your own
‘Cause I'll be with you, you know
And when you fall down just hit the ground running
And I'll be running with you
Running with you (x2)

I'll be with you, you know
Go ahead and make those mistakes
But don't make them on your own
When in doubt I'd test my luck
I'm not afraid to self-destruct
Just take me with you
Take me with you (x2)
