I'm stuck between rock and roll And a hard place Got a long way to go It's uphill both ways There's no turning back I've spent the last year Being honest and getting older But I know it's far from over It's everything left in me To convince myself To believe In a hopeless dream But the posters on my wall Paint a different picture That speaks clearly to me They tell me If you're left high and dry, Take my advice, and don't look down Keep your head up, hang in there And hold on for dear life It's gonna be alright It hurts to fall short Or be off by a long shot We've all been there Wishing to switch places With the stars in a magazine When our lives become paper thin Every day is a gift So when this box is empty I'll fill it with dusty records That taught me To pour my heart out To spill my guts 'Cause the posters on my wall Paint a different picture That speaks clearly to me They tell me If you're left high and dry, Take my advice, and don't look down Keep your head up, hang in there And hold on for dear life It's gonna be alright I know it's said too much, When the going gets tough You can never give up You can't fail if you try It's gonna be, It's gonna be alright I may be just a one hit wonder But I'm going down swinging Covered in ash and bruises I'm still here singing If you're left high and dry, Take my advice, and don't look down Keep your head up, hang in there It's gonna be alright If you're left high and dry, Take my advice, and don't look down Keep your head up, hang in there And hold on for dear life It's gonna be alright
