[Verse 1]
In my mind there’s a fog San Francisco couldn’t handle
So how this year’s been a slog, melting both ends of the candle
And how I wish I could claim that I don’t harbor ill feelings
As my anger’s turning to shame and I stare a hole through the ceiling

[Chorus]
I’m trying to hold it together, I’m trying to sleep through the night
I’ve got my windows open to the weather and I keep telling my friends I’m alright
Yeah, I’m trying to hold it together, trying to take the first step
Into the arms of wherever, whenever
[Verse 2]
Every day I awake like a stone over water
Skipping across a lake before I sink to the bottom
And how I wish I could say that I’m immune to the mirror
With temples fading to grey, I’m seeing the end drawing nearer

[Bridge]
And I can scream and shout
Or learn to live without

[Chorus]
But I’m trying to hold it together, I’m trying to sleep through the night
I’ve got my windows open to the weather and I keep telling my friends I’m alright
Yeah, I’m trying to hold it together, trying to take the first step
Into the arms of wherever, whenever
