So disappointed
In our whole cycle

[Verse 2]
It's been a whole year
I think that I grew up
But I still cry every time my dad hangs up
No good intention is ever good enough
To feel like I've done nothing wrong
[Chorus]
Nothing could ever stop my ass from showing up
To sing another song for the people I love
Sing another song for the people I love
[Verse 3]
Driving with Gabe through
Stratified dry lands
Wе all met in Brooklyn when we wеre still in bands
Finding a crowd was enough grounds to grand stand
And we knew each other's songs
[Chorus]
Nothing could ever stop my ass from showing up
To sing another song for the people I love
Sing another song for the people I love
[Bridge]
Storing cans in the basement
I'll be awake when
The tribulation comes
I'll admit I faked it
I was freaked when
All the lights went off
[Outro]
Nothing could ever stop my ass from showing up
To sing another song for the people I love
Sing another song for the people I love
