Nightlight

[Verse 1]
Everyone around me's getting drunk
All we really want is just to grow up
We just want to be happy
But nothing's really working

[Verse 2]
This life is a cage and we're trapped inside
Pushing in on the bars, desperate for the outside
Deep down, I want to be like them
They do whatever pleases them

[Pre-Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
That's what they say
I'm just taking it day by day
But I'll always be yours, so don't be afraid

[Chorus]
I'm tired of sleeping with the nightlight on
'Cause all the other kids don't have a line to step across
I want to run wild in the streets and cause a bit of trouble
I want to be broken like an empty vodka bottle

[Post-Chorus]
I only learn a lesson if I learn it the hard way
So give what you got and don't be sorry
But God forbid for me to leave and never return

[Verse 3]
There's something going awry in the bathroom
Never mind the smell, it's just what kids do
They were never happy
But they were always laughing

[Pre-Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
That's what they say
And I'm gonna cave in eventually
If I ruin my life, then that's on me

[Chorus]
I'm tired of sleeping with the nightlight on
'Cause all the other kids don't have a line to step across
I want to run wild in the streets and cause a bit of trouble
I want to be broken like an empty vodka bottle

[Post-Chorus]
I only learn a lesson if I learn it the hard way
So give what you got and don't be sorry
But God forbid for me to leave and never return

[Bridge]
I don't want you to worry 'bout me
I just want you to pray for me
I'll be okay
I'll be okay

I don't want you to worry 'bout me
I just want you to pray for me
I always bounce back, everybody knows that
I always bounce back, everybody knows that

[Chorus]
I'm tired of sleeping with the nightlight on
'Cause all the other kids don't have a line to step across
I want to run wild in the streets and cause a bit of trouble
I want to be broken like an empty vodka bottle

[Post-Chorus]
I only learn a lesson if I learn it the hard way
So give what you got and don't be sorry
But God forbid for me to leave and never return
