News is loud and my phone won’t quit Everybody’s mad ’bout everything I ain’t fixin’ that, I ain’t that guy I’m just tryna make it through tonight So I take one breath—one heartbeat Let the room spin, let the world talk I got a six-string and a backbeat That’s enough to keep my head on straight I can’t carry the whole damn storm But I can light up my little porch Turn the dial from doom to sound Let the good stuff drown it out So I turn it up, keep it sweet Let the bassline carry me If it’s all goin’ to hell— That’s alright tonight Throw a laugh in the firelight Shake it off, let it slide Ain’t savin’ the world, but— We’re alright tonight Headline circus, same old show Everybody sellin’ fear for gold I don’t need another “pick a side” I need a reason just to feel alive I got a girl with a candy grin Calls me back when the spiral wins One little taste and the edge gets soft Like “hey… you’re here—don’t write it off” I can’t fix the broken feed But I can choose what lives in me So I strum that open G Let it hit like therapy Cut the lights, kill the noise Let the silence make a choice One more mile, one more song We’ve been bruised but we’re not gone Hand to heart, feet to ground Turn that chaos into sound When it feels like nothin’ fits I just sing into the grit Ain’t savin’ the world, but— We’re alright tonight ALRIGHT TONIGHT! Keep it sweet… keep it sweet… If it’s goin’ to hell— That’s alright tonight
