Draggin' Around
Rilo Kiley Lyrics

Here's to all the luck that pours down on me
Cheers to the fortunate events happening in my life.

Here's to all the melodies that picked us up off our seats
Cheers to the uplifting music that gives us joy.

Here's to the younger ones when they replace me
Cheers to the next generation that will take my place.

Here's to the bitterness that keeps the sweet so sweet
Cheers to the hardships that make the good things even better.

Here's to all the words that we'll never speak
Cheers to the unexpressed thoughts and feelings between us.

Here's to all the pretty girls that you're gonna meet
Cheers to the future romantic interactions you’ll encounter.

Here's to the little lies I tell in my sleep
Cheers to the minor false statements I make unconsciously.

Here's to the secrets that you're gonna keep
Cheers to the undisclosed information you’re going to conceal.

Why don't you raise up, raise up your cup?
Why not lift your cup to celebrate?

I've had enough - raise up your cups.
I cannot take it anymore - let's toast to distraction.

Here's to the company that we used to keep
Cheers to the people we used to spend time with.

Here's to the certainty of sickness and sleep
Cheers to the inevitability of illness and rest.

Here's to the death of who we thought we were
Cheers to the passing of our old selves.

Here's to all our kids that'll never be born
Cheers to the nonexistent children we will never have.

Why don't you raise up, raise up your cup?
Why not lift your cup again to commemorate?

I'm choking up raise up your cups
I'm overwhelmed with emotion, let's toast once more.

To draggin' around
To carrying a heavy burden.

A cross and a thorny crown
A symbol of suffering and pain.

And livin' because you're willing
And persevering by choice.

And being forgiven thankfully.
And being grateful for receiving forgiveness.
