Lyrics
It ain't fair but I know it to be true
Expressing acknowledgment that life isn't always fair, but recognizing its truth.
By myself, I can make my way better even light of all this worst
Feeling confident in navigating life alone despite challenging circumstances.
But I can't lie
Admitting honesty about personal emotions and experiences.
It hurts my heart to know that we are truly helpless
Expressing sadness or frustration at the realization of human helplessness.
And that all that we love will soon burn
Anticipating the destruction of things held dear or cherished.
It'll all burn
Reiterating the impending destruction of valued aspects of life.
I've always wanted to be a nascar dad, a nascar dad

Way too buzzed for a Sunday, my wife checkin in every 50 some odd laps
Describing being too intoxicated on a Sunday, with a humorous mention of the wife's check-ins during a race.
I've always wanted to have a couple kids

Let em run around, let em be their selves

Profit margins are more valuable than people
Pointing out the prioritization of profit margins over the well-being of people.
Why would I try to family when I know things will be even harder so soon?

For all of us out there

And I can't
