Verse 1

Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?

This 21st century is a mess

Oh you can try and fix it

But it breaks

Oh you can try and love it

But it hates

Oh it hates

Chorus

This is for everything we had

It's the good and it's the bad

It's the state of love and trust

And this is for you

And this is for us

Verse 2

And father, will you comfort me if I call?

This crazy world has lost it's mind

It's our fault

Oh you can try and straighten it

It turns, it turns, it turns

Oh you can try and smother it

But it burns

Oh it burns

Chorus

This is for everything we had

It's the good and it's the bad

It's the state of love and trust

And this is for you

And this is for us

Post-Chorus:

Oh will you break my fall

Oh when I climb too high?

I always lose my nerve

It happens every time

Oh will you bring me home

Oh when I'm barely alive

It's the state of love and trust

And this is for you

And this is for us

Chorus

(once at a time)

This is for everything we had

It's the good and it's the bad

It's the state of love and trust

And this is for you

And this is for us

Post-Chorus:

Oh will you break my fall

Oh when I climb too high?

I always lose my nerve

It happens every time

Oh will you bring me home

Oh when I'm barely alive

It's the state of love and trust

And this is for you

And this is for us

And this is for you

And this is for us

This is for you

This is for us

This is for us
