Alright
Judah & the Lion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT

BROTHER CALLED ME ON THE PHONE
SAYING I'M DONE WITH IT ALL
SAFE TO SAY I'M DONE WITH IT ALL, TOO

TRYING TO RIGHT ALL THESE WRONGS
NEVER SEEMED SO IMPOSSIBLE
IT'S CLEAR TO ME WE'RE SCARED TO HOPE, TOO

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
NO MATTER HOW BAD ALL OF THIS GETS
I CAN'T STOP THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD
THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYS

WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT

TALKING WITH MY SISTER AGAIN
ASKING WHEN IT'S ALL GOING TO END
FUNNY CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CLUE

A PARENTS HEART BREAK IS A CHILD'S DEMISE
OF ALL THE TRUTH THEY KNEW INSIDE
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
I DON'T KNOW WHY

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
NO MATTER HOW BAD ALL THIS GETS
I CAN'T STOP THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD
THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYS

WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT

IF YOU'RE SCARED TO HOPE
HOPE ON
IF YOU FEEL ALONE

YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT





WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
