[Verse 1]
We were just kids
Ignoring what our parents said
Sneaking down to the basement
Was it really love we were chasing?
Were we just trying to get away?
But truth is
It was a high we never tasted
As we were lying there naked
Is she gonna find it other places?
Well she did
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’ll tell you heartbreak won’t break ya
I’ll let you know I sleep just fine
Even though the world’s gonna shake ya
The view is always worth the climb
If there’s another risk worth taking
Go and take it every time
Life is only what you make it
[Chorus]
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
[Verse 2]
We were just kids
Ignoring what our parents did
Playing songs in a basement
Barely knew what we were saying
We were just trying to run away?
But truth is
It was a high we never tasted
While looking out on all the faces
Is everybody gonna hate it?
Well they did
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’ll tell you heartbreak won’t break ya
I’ll let you know I sleep just fine
Even though the world’s gonna shake ya
The view is always worth the climb
If there’s another risk worth taking
Go and take take it every time
Life is only what you make it
[Chorus]
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
[Bridge]
You are not alone
No one knows the way to go
You are not alone
No one knows the way to go
You are not alone
No one knows the way to go
You are not alone
[Chorus]
And I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
I think we made it out alright
Think we made it out alright
