Look Back and Laugh (Acoustic)

One, two
One, two, three, four

My friends and I move to a new neighbourhood
There's a park nearby and the rent is good
Damp windows and a single closet
Creaky bed and the hall smells of vomit
It may look a little dodgy but
it feels pretty safe at night
I tell my mum not to worry
I'll make sure I eat right

I know it's not so bad
One day I'll look back and laugh
And though things aren't always great
One day I'll celebrate
'Cause scars remind us who we are
And though getting by is hard
At the very least it will make a good story

The girl next door is a part time escort
Before she hits thirty she wants to be sorted
She says she wants to move to Manchester
Where her money will go further
It's challenging to claw yourself out of shitty circumstances
What are the chances oh without getting dirty
But I'm determined to be one of the lucky few
I mean what else am I gonna do?

I know it's not so bad
One day I'll look back and laugh
And though things aren't always great
One day I'll celebrate
'Cause scars remind us who we are
And though getting by is hard
At the very least it will make a good story

Oh I'm doing fine but some friends of mine
work day and night just to get by
It's a race each day to stop falling behind
Will there ever be a finish line?
If I didn't laugh I'd have to cry

I know it's not so bad
One day I'll look back and laugh
And though things aren't always great
One day I'll celebrate
'Cause scars remind us who we are
And though getting by is hard
At the very least it will make a good story

I know it's not so bad
One day I'll look back and laugh
And though things aren't always great
One day I'll celebrate
'Cause scars remind us who we are
And though getting by is hard
At the very least it will make a good story
