Lyrics
it's been a long road
Expressing the length and challenges of the journey.
crawling myself to you
Describing the effort of moving toward someone.
we've been on one
Acknowledging shared experiences and struggles.
cos that's what we gotta do
Highlighting the necessity of certain actions.
we've been struggling
Referencing difficulties faced over time.
with time well spent
Reflecting on time used wisely.
always seem to make the rent
Noting success in meeting financial obligations.
there's better ways to pay the bills
Suggesting alternative ways to handle responsibilities.
but the dollar seems to sway the will
Commenting on the influence of money.
all my friends got famous
Observing the fame of friends.
and when they come back home to visit
Describing the return of famous friends.
from the west coast, where they're living
Noting their residence on the west coast.
i show them all the cool new places to grab a drink
Guiding them to new and trendy places.
we got our own road
Asserting possession of a unique path.
troubled as it may seem
Admitting difficulties in their journey.
and on this side
Comparing their situation unfavorably.
the grass is never green
Contrasting with the common phrase; the situation is not ideal.
my safe space is a hand me down couch
Describing a comfortable yet worn-out space.
full of false hopes of going out
Expressing unrealized aspirations.
never having time to kill
Reflecting on the scarcity of free time.
when you're frozen to a windowsill
Feeling stuck and inactive.
all my friends got famous
Reiterating the fame of friends.
and when they come back home to visit
Describing shared moments with returning friends.
we drink cold beers in the kitchen
Depicting a casual scene with cold beers.
we get drunk and then we listen to our songs
Highlighting the act of listening to their own music.
and all i ask of you
Making a serious request for acknowledgment.
just take me seriously
Emphasizing the desire for sincerity.
said i'm trying
Asserting effort and sincerity in intentions.
i'm telling you
Reiterating the effort being made.
that i'm trying
Stating the commitment to trying.
all my friends got famous
Repeating the observation of friends' fame.
we're all drunk and shameless
Describing a carefree and uninhibited state.
for worse or for better
Expressing unity in both challenging and joyful times.
all in this together
Emphasizing collective experience despite individual paths.
in all our separate ways
Highlighting diverse journeys taken by friends.
