Lyrics

Intro

(yeah) Walkin' these cracked streets alone

Uke strums soft, wind in my bones

Verse

Slammin' doors at dawn, Dad's ghost in the chair

Mom's fire and fury fillin' the air

No dinner on the table, just empty cans

Learnin' to dodge the weight of their hands

School's a battlefield, kids laughin' my name

Pockets full of nothin', playin' the game

Bikes with flat tires, dreams on the mend

Patchin' up the pieces they tried to bend

Pre-chorus

But the sun still rises, cuts through the gray

I got my two feet, gonna find my way

Chorus

Growin' up rough, yeah it's tearin' me down

Bad blood in the house, wearin' this crown

But it ain't the worst, no it ain't the end

Seen eyes hollower, bones breakin' to bend

We push through the mud, we push through the fight

Yeah, we make it somehow, into the light

Push through, push through

Yeah, we make it somehow

Verse

Friends crashin' out early, lost in the haze

I dodge that bullet, countin' my days

Whispers of worse in the corners I know

Kids with no roof, carryin' heavier loads

Parents who vanish, or swing fists like storms

Leavin' marks deeper than these faded forms

But I got a spark, flickerin' alive

Turnin' the pain to fuel for the drive

Pre-chorus

And the road keeps callin', rough as it is

I ain't backin' down, this is what it is

Chorus

Growin' up rough, yeah it's tearin' me down

Bad blood in the house, wearin' this crown

But it ain't the worst, no it ain't the end

Seen eyes hollower, bones breakin' to bend

We push through the mud, we push through the fight

Yeah, we make it somehow, into the light

Push through, push through

Yeah, we make it somehow

(we make it somehow)

Bridge

Electric rips in, drums pound the ache

Uke holds the memory, but I won't break

(oh yeah) One step, two steps, risin' above

Turnin' the bitter to somethin' I love

Chorus

Growin' up rough, yeah it's tearin' me down

Bad blood in the house, wearin' this crown

But it ain't the worst, no it ain't the end

Seen eyes hollower, bones breakin' to bend

We push through the mud, we push through the fight

Yeah, we make it somehow, into the light

Push through, push through

Yeah, we make it somehow

Push through, push through

(yeah) We make it somehow

Outro

Drums fade slow, uke strums low

Yeah, we make it... somehow
