lyrics

Finding solidarity in the weakest of foundations
Seems to be among my more frequent practices
These Days

And I know

It seems these days I can't be alive
Without a drink in my hand or a girl by my side
And I know
Know now that this was never mine
But I'll do my best to keep up the fight

What's worth fighting for?

Finding sources of light in the darkest of locations
Seems to be among my more shady practices
These Days

And I know

It seems these days I can't be alive
Without a drink in my hand or a girl by my side
And I know
Know now that this was never mine
But I'll do my best to keep up the fight

It seems these days I can't burn bright
Without a drink in my hand or a girl by my side
And I know
Know now that this was never mine
But I'll do my best to keep up the fight

What's worth fighting for?
