Relatively Young

I’m not your great man,
I don’t pay your bills,
But I can leave a smile upon your face,
And somehow that’s enough to keep me still.
You open up the car door,
Leaving everything behind,
I turn the radio down low,
While the streets are quiet tonight.
And thinking back,
Maybe we’ve been doing this too much,
Maybe this won’t end too well.
Girl, we’re still relatively young,
And I like to see you light,
I like the way you lose yourself.
I’m still lighting up my cigarette,
Watching you cross the street,
And for a moment something strange
Feels light and bittersweet.
But everything will be alright,
Yeah, everything will be alright.
My old friend, anxiety,
I can feel her coming back.
Wait... what was that?
Why does my heartbeat sound like that?
My blood is running cold,
Then burning through my veins,
I hear the thunder in the distance,
I hear the breaking glass and screams.
My hands are shaking,
There’s red running down my skin,
But everything will be alright,
Just breathe... just let me in.
I can't turn around,
My eyes are getting heavy,
The whole world fades to black,
And every step feels unsteady.
I can barely see you now,
You're still walking down the road.
I wish I could call your name,
But I can’t make a sound anymore.
So, baby, don’t look back.
Just keep walking through the night.
Everything will be alright...
Everything will be alright...
Even if I can't see the morning,
Even if this is goodbye,
Everything will be alright, my love.
Just keep going.
Don't turn around.
Everything will be alright...
