[00:00.771]Just wanted to make them proud
[00:05.107]But you can't tell ups from downs
[00:09.627]It's all alright
[00:18.299]We can find company
[00:22.453]In hearts that beat all in sync
[00:26.972]We're all alright
[00:33.790]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:37.081]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:39.981]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:42.802]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:46.015]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:48.575]We gon' be okay, we gon' be alright
[00:52.520]Musta been 2011 when the world ended
[00:54.636]'Least it felt like it at the time
[00:56.412]Teenage years make a heartbreak worse
[00:58.606]Plus a lot was going on, couldn't stop it at the time
[01:00.748]Dad tried to flip the house (yeah)
[01:03.125]Funny that it all landed upside down
[01:05.111]Known for being optimistic, started feeling different
[01:07.096]Couldn't fix it, started writing lyrics all because nobody tried to hear it
[01:10.074]'Round the same time, hooked to the nicotine
[01:11.798]Music and a smoke were synonymous to me, it seemed
[01:14.018]Paid prices through devices, both sides
[01:16.134]Obsessed with a vision I know I could make mine
[01:18.172]I knew it would take time, I knew they would doubt shine
[01:20.575]Thought it was just music, didn't know that they would take sides
[01:22.743]Freestyle at the party, they said, "Turn it down"
[01:24.650]Sorry, was I talking over what you're gossiping about?
[01:26.949]Small town with dreams that didn't involve skis
[01:29.039]Lookin' at me like a weirdo, outside of the scene
[01:31.442]Stuck to my friends not ****ing with fair weather
[01:33.453]But the maple showers brought out the May weather
[01:35.700]Didn't know what I was doing, but I knew I couldn't stop
[01:37.868]Wasn't slowing down even when my fourth tape dropped
[01:40.036]'Round the time I was drunk most my freshman year
[01:42.231]Was so focused on my craft that my grades got weird
[01:45.470]Just wanted to make them proud
[01:49.754]But you can't tell ups from downs
[01:54.351]It's all alright
[02:02.920]We can find company
[02:07.073]In hearts that beat all in sync
[02:11.723]We're all alright
[02:19.429]Thought I figured out I just wasn't made for degrees
[02:21.467]Went home, then I went back early '14
[02:23.556]All my friends had new friends and I lived off campus
[02:25.933]In a dingy apartment on a twin bed mattress
[02:28.102]Sucked, but I kept my grades up for a bit
[02:30.218]I would kick it with some homies every now and again
[02:32.333]But the Laramie cold was keeping me inside
[02:34.476]And I was smokin' on the green when I needed to write
[02:36.800]Wasn't able to sleep or even write without it
[02:38.812]And being alone made my anxiety spike
[02:41.006]If I was hanging with the group, I was drinkin' that night
[02:43.200]Couldn't handle being out without a drink in my sight
[02:45.499]Was a mess working on The Science of Feeling Tall
[02:47.484]If it wasn't for that tape, I wouldn't get up at all
[02:49.757]Recording on a mic that was USB
[02:51.769]Thankfully, I had Craig making all of my beats
[02:54.120]Still strugglin' tryna be heard
[02:56.000]Still a joke back home, stuck in his work
[02:57.829]Dropped science to dead silence
[02:59.788]I was like, "Word"
[03:00.807]They don't get it yet, but I swear that it's gon' work
[03:03.654]Went back home for the summer
[03:05.222]Met up with a girl that I used to love
[03:07.050]But I was all messed up at the time because
[03:09.271]I couldn't deal with thinking about another end to us
[03:11.569]She brought me back to life, back in senior year
[03:13.581]Couple months of that and then she disappeared
[03:15.801]She explained to me, and it made sense to me
[03:18.022]That I couldn't move forward with her heart and fear
[03:20.242]So I got distant on some b***h shit
[03:22.280]Can't lie, I was truly being a dipshit, like oh, my
[03:24.866]Knew I would move to Seattle then
[03:27.034]Home never let me stay too long, I guess
[03:30.247]Just wanted to make them proud
[03:34.714]But you can't tell ups from downs
[03:39.050]It's all alright
[03:47.592]We can find company
[03:51.798]In hearts that beat all in sync
[03:56.448]We're all alright
[04:04.206]Music wasn't makin' money, so I headed out to AI
[04:06.191]Art school, so I thought, "Cool, I'ma be fine"
[04:08.490]"Family wanted a degree, cool, I'ma get mine"”
[04:10.658]Not sure if I made the move for me at the time
[04:12.696]I just had to get out
[04:13.767]I was just tired of being home
[04:15.047]Every ounce of my future was ridin' on a microphone
[04:17.084]That's a lot of pressure even for a kid that's with no mentor to measure if my music was truly meant to deliver
[04:21.551]Fell in love with the city, fell back in love with my art
[04:23.693]I was truly in the present; I learned to follow my heart
[04:25.809]Truly independent and finally makin' my mark
[04:27.951]A Team Worldwide was steady lightin' a spark
[04:30.224]100k, a couple million, then tens
[04:32.340]Views gone crazy, I was over the fence
[04:34.482]I was over the moon, and then "Neverland" dropped
[04:36.676]That right there what I'm never gonna land off
[04:38.949]AI wasn't really what I thought it would be
[04:40.882]But I met a couple friends I've been happy to keep
[04:43.207]Left that summer back home again
[04:45.349]Then I started plottin' out how the team would win
[04:47.622]We decided that it was time that we all should meet
[04:49.711]Overseas with the team for a couple of weeks
[04:52.089]Patrick, Craig, Glenn, Gustav, and me
[04:54.074]Set up in a cabin south the Stockholm streets
[04:56.320]Five musicians, four countries, one album
[04:58.671]Took five years to make this our outcome
[05:00.840]Used to ask "How come," now they ask "How?"
[05:02.982]I just believed in it, way more than most how
[05:05.150]I just remained me in payin' what I've seen
[05:07.344]Painting you all the lows and highs in these dreams
[05:09.591]All the pleasure and pain
[05:10.479]The sun that came after rain
[05:11.733]Now we on our way
[05:12.699]Life will never be the same
[05:14.972]Just wanted to make them proud
[05:19.308]But you can't tell ups from downs
[05:23.853]It's all alright
[05:32.448]We can find company (twenty-two and I'm way more)
[05:36.784]In hearts that beat all in sync (twenty-two and I'm way more)
[05:41.277]We're all alright (twenty-two and I'm way more wise)
[05:48.800]Twenty-two and I'm way more wise to the fact
[05:51.047]That the world makes plans that the mind can't hatch
[05:53.189]No heart makes dreams work and time can't match
[05:55.383]And I choose to be truth, nothing rhymes like that
