[Verse 1]
EI'm used to my life being a complete mess
ABut now I'm doing better and I'm scared of success
EI've got the bike, the boy, the job, the mom, I live in a house
AAnd I'm not at risk of dying of an overdose now
[Verse 2]
EI'm finding love in the corner of a dusty room
AI'm playing the guitar cause I really fucking want to
EI'm showing up to the places I'm supposed to
AIs this what life can be like for someone like me and you?
ASomeone like me and you
[Verse 3]
EI'm learning how to live with a clear head
AI almost forget the taste of laying in my bed
EWith a needle in my arm
ABut I won't close the door on all the people I have harmed
EI promise I will make amends
AMake amends
[Verse 4]
EI'm kissing you in the corner of a public park
AI'm playing whisper down the lane with my friends in the restaurant
EI'm staying encouraged I'm pushing through
AIs this what life can be like for someone like me and you?
ESomeone like me and you
ASomeone like
From Long Time Gone

[Verse 1]

I'm used to my life being a complete mess

But now I'm doing better and I'm scared of success

I've got the bike, the boy, the job, the mom, I live in a house

And I'm not at risk of dying of an overdose now

[Verse 2]

I'm finding love in the corner of a dusty room

I'm playing the guitar cause I really fucking want to

I'm showing up to the places I'm supposed to

Is this what life can be like for someone like me and you?

Someone like me and you

[Verse 3]

I'm learning how to live with a clear head

I almost forget the taste of laying in my bed

With a needle in my arm

But I won't close the door on all the people I have harmed

I promise I will make amends

Make amends

[Verse 4]

I'm kissing you in the corner of a public park

I'm playing whisper down the lane with my friends in the restaurant

I'm staying encouraged I'm pushing through

Is this what life can be like for someone like me and you?

Someone like me and you

Someone like
