What I'm Here For - Live From Bridgestone Arena

You're uncertain and you're unwell
Rags to riches, but you're 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
All you care about is death and taxes
Being famous takes too much practice
I wish it wasn't so

I spent my twenties in the lights of the disco
Trying to prove that I could be a hero
There were times when it felt like I was winning
Looking back, it only lasted a minute
I watched my friends take over the radio
But 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 on 'cause the spirit fell
I was really trying to mean something to someone
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"

La da, la da da, la da da, la da da
La da, la da da, la da da
La da, la da da, la da da, la da da
La da, la da da, la da da

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
