"What I'm Here For" lyrics

You're uncertain and you're unwell
Rags to riches but your heart can't tell
That don't mean you're going to hell
But that's how the story goes

You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes
But all you care about is death and taxes
And being famous takes too much practice
I wish it wasn't so

I spent my '20s in the lights of the disco
Trying to prove that I could be a hero
And there were times when it felt like I was winning
But looking back it only lasted a minute

I watched my friends take over the radio
All it did was drill a hole in my ego
I forgot what goodness was outside my window
Ain't that the way the story goes

I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
I feel like we could find it
If we knocked on heaven's door
I'd say God I'm only human
You'd say that's what I'm here for

I spent my teens making out in the stairwell
Inside a church that went long 'cause the spirit fell
I was really trying to mean something to someone
But at the time I just thought that it was fun

I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
I feel like we could find it
If we knocked on heaven's door
I'd say God I'm only human
You'd say that's what I'm here for

I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
