Your picking me up because I had such a bad day
You are supporting me because I had a challenging day.
Life throws at you crap in so many ways
Life presents difficulties in various ways.

If you fall, people may take advantage of you.
So get up get on you gotta fight through
To overcome challenges, you must stand up and fight.
Fat farm skinny school we've lost the plot
Reference to societal issues like body image and education.
And it hurts to see the truth when we see it
It's painful to acknowledge the truth when we see it.
So lets all get smashed coz no one cares
Suggesting indifference and a desire to escape through intoxication.
Your picking me up 'cause I had such a hard night
You are uplifting me after a difficult night.
