Pretty mess on the west, I smile at her sight
She loves the Ergs, vegan food, oh, never mind
She's the kindest girl you can find
Oh, I miss late nights, late parties
I don't get around
It's the way that I never really even cared
Stayed up late just to catch that movie premiere
And I'm aware that it's hard to escape
So we got stuck in a rut
Now it's all catching up and pretending you relate
Hey, we just don't surrender
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
And I think that even on the worst nights
It tends to be alright
I guess it will be alright
I passed out on your couch for a little while
And realized half my life has been in denial
But these nights when we stare at the sky and talk about our lives
They made me want to try
I drove around as if to force conversation
We ended up by the river if I'm not mistaken
But I digress, I was out of my mind
So when it's brought up, I've gotten good at lying
I think this place looks better in the rear view
I miss my friends, though I really didn't need you
We won't go down without a violent fight
This song's about every single thought that I've ever had
Every single thought that I'd like to take back
I know it doesn't work like that
And half the time, it doesn't work
Hey, we just don't surrender
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
And I think that even on the worst nights
It tends to be alright
I guess it will be alright
Hey, we just don't surrender
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
And I think that even on the worst nights
It tends to be alright
I guess it will be alright
