The Little Engine That Couldn’t (Lyrics)

I'm so fucking depressed, I'm just a washed up mess

I never knew what to do with all this loneliness

And so I'm hanging around, but I can't relate

To all these people that overcompensate

It's been a fucked up high, it's been a fucked up life

And just between you and I, it's gonna be alright

I've got my head in the sky, but I've been looking down

Doing everything I can to leave this town

Can you just tell me that everything's fine

I don't want anyone else on my mind

I keep going cause I can't escape

It's like a hero's journey, but without the cape

And I don't know how much more my heart can take

But if it doesn't break, I'll write another song tonight

Another lullaby, another fucked up rhyme

Another day you and I are barely getting by

And as the sun goes down, I'll try to recreate

All the magic from the years we grew to hate

I'm not trying to be patient, I don't want to do that

Cause every time that I am, it fucking kicks my ass

Cause seventeen years went by too fast

And if it kills me still, I'll make the next ones last

I keep going cause I can't escape

It's like a hero's journey, but without the cape

And I don't know how much more my heart can take

But if it doesn't break, I'll write another song tonight

Press on till the feeling's gone

And we all move on a little closer to the night

Same stage in a different phase

And every step I take a little closer to the light

A little closer to the light

A little closer to the light

A little closer to the light

I keep going cause I can't escape

It's like a hero's journey, but without the cape

And I don't know how much more my heart can take

But if it doesn't break, I'll write another song tonight

Press on till the feeling's gone

And we all move on a little closer to the night

Same stage in a different phase

And every step I take a little closer to the light

A little closer to the light

A little closer to the light

A little closer to the light
