[Intro]
Hey, hey!
[Verse 1]
I heard it through the grapevine
You've been hanging by a thread
Rumors at the dog park
Sticking everyone's nose in what you did
[Pre-Chorus]
It's how you cope, but now you're choking
While you're praying for some
Discount Jesus Christ to come
Save you from yourself
[Chorus]
So what's the point of holding on
When letting go's the only way you're changing?
Stop waiting for the grass to grow
You're catching butterflies that ain't worth chasin'
[Verse 2]
Handcuff yourself to rock 'n' roll
Dreaming Hollywood dreams
Protect your neck and save yourself
Gatekeeping the peace
[Pre-Chorus]
It's how you cope, but now you're choking
While you're praying for some
Discount Jesus Christ to come
Save you from yourself
[Chorus]
So what's the point of holding on
When letting go's the only way you're changing?
Stop waiting for the grass to grow
You're catching butterflies that ain't worth chasin'
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
What's the point of holding on
When letting go's the only way you're changing?
Stop waiting for the grass to grow
You're catching butterflies
[Chorus]
What's the point of holding on
When letting go's the only way you're changing?
Stop waiting for the grass to grow
You're catching butterflies that ain't worth chasin'
