Verse 1
I guess it took this long
To let you go
Must have had me hooked,
Like a strip of Velcro

From the jump I fell
Hell I almost broke my toes
In hind sight
I really wished it was my jaw bone

Because I said too much
If I'da had it wired shut
It would have benefited sh*t
Instead of messing up

Maybe we would be different
Switched it up for both of us
But instead I spoke till we were crushed
Broke and turned to dust

Now it's a joke and trust
I'm smoking like its both of us
Feeling like the rope is snug
Tugging till it chokes my lungs

What about the rug
Under my feet that you pulled up
Flipped me a 360
Till the concrete kissed me on my butt

But that was not enough
And all those knots were not enough
To tie down all my feelings
I must've unknotted nine of them

You broke the chains
And now I'm changing out the weakest link
I see we're rearranged
You're in my range but out of my reach

CHORUS
When your backs to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

When your standing with your back to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

Verse 2
If I could find a time machine
I'd do it all different
I'd go back and tell myself
"Boy sit down listen,

Everything your father says
Is for your own good,
You don't know shit
You're just a kid, understood"?

And someday you'll meet a girl
And think she is an angel
Then one day she'll be your world
The next day a stranger

Before you know it
She'll just be a bitch who broke your heart
But that's ok cuz I got stitches
It won't fall apart

And never mind the gun
You find under your mattress
The act you did when you got mad
Will just expand your atlas

Though at the time
You'll be the psycho out the loony bin
Next thing you know
That shot will shoot your ass to England

And then you'll meet friends
That you would have never had
And those friends become family
And more than that

Before you know it
You go signing foreign autographs
Who would have thought a broken heart would snap
And get a passport stamp

CHORUS
When your backs to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

When your standing with your back to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

Verse 3
I'm so glad
I've made the mistakes I have made
Cuz this light wouldn't exist
Without the shade

Cuz this drive
Wouldn't exist with out the brakes
I basically closed my eyes
And drove through the caution tape

I've always known
Everything happens for a reason
Even if in the beginning days
You don't see it

Sometimes you have to be cut down
Before you'll grow
But that's something that' you'll never know
Until you're shown

At nights I lay in bed
Feeling all alone
Inside my mind remind myself
You're a Rolling Stone

Your not alone it's what you've chose
You got the whole world
In your hands, so don't just stand there
Make it twirl

While you're at it
Feel the magic, take the jump shot
Slam dunk it in that punks face
Why not?

After all You've always read
The writing on the wall
But now you're writing it
So you're not reading at all

CHORUS
When your backs to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

When your standing with your back to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

When your standing with your back to the wall
Foot's to the edge and you're ready to fall
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)
Say ill be alright (I'll be alright)

I'm ready to fall
Say I'll be alright
Say I'll be alright
