Your parents say you're too much to handle But I think they're just scared They're in love with suburbia and you're anywhere else but there I wish they saw you like I do instead of looking through their neighbor's eyes But as hard as you try, they won't so just let me hold you tight
I can be there for you You're my football team And I'm rooting for you
All your stars are heroes just 'cause they run real fast They don't even know you But you wear their numbers on your back I watch you chase for approval Only to find a kind of hell because the only way to win that game is to sacrifice yourself
Why can't they leave you alone, leave you alone So let me hold you Let me hold you close
I can be there for you You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you I can be there for you You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you
So let me hold you close, let me hold you close let me hold you close So let me hold you close, let me hold you close let me hold you close
