People say I'm always happy
But they don't know the sorta shit I've seen
So if you tell me that you're feeling hopeless
Oh, I know just what you mean
If you dropped off the radar
Would they stop and wonder why
And if that's the case, why show your face?
Why do we even try?
'Cuz you've gotta hold on
Even if you can't be strong
You know you gotta hold on
Even if you can't, even if you can't
The world is not out to get you
In fact, they sent me out here to tell you
We had a meeting the other night
And it's gonna be ... all right
I won't pretend that I can put an end
To you pain and your sorrow
And I'd never say that your problems will
All go away tomorrow
'Cuz you've gotta hold on
Take 'em as they come
You know you've gotta hold
Take 'em as they come, take 'em one by one
The world is not out to get you
In fact, they sent me out here to tell you
We had a meeting the other night
And it's gonna be ... all right
We had a meeting the other night
And it's gonna be ... all right
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
