[Verse 1]
Focus on the good things
I hope the weather holds up, I hope I pull the heartstrings
Where you at? Where you hiding?
Focus on the real things
'Cause all my greatest heroes disappear into the air
Just like these smoke rings
But, trust me, we can handle these damages
[Pre-Chorus]
And I called her up and told her
To be extra
Careful around the people that she loves, thе people who affеct her
Told hеr
We need exercise in trust
I don't want nothing except to protеct her
Such a brief conversation
So much anticipation
Walking home from the station
Such an awkward equation
Told her
To be extra
Careful around those she loves, yeah
[Chorus]
Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
[Verse 2]
And way back when we used to rock the Nikes with the hand-me-downs
Burn holes in all our favourite clothes when Mum was not around
I hope you keep your head in the clouds
Then maybe you can cope with these damages
[Pre-Chorus]
And I called her up and told her
To be extra
Careful around the people that she loves, the people who affect her
The voices inside of your head just don't listen 'cause they're tryna test ya
This isn't a test run, I've been here since day one
[Chorus]
Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
(This isn't a test run)
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
(This isn't a test run)
You can fall back on me
[Bridge]
Back when all our problems were not problems
Back when we would medicate till we forgot them
And everything in good faith now (Back when you could—)
Back when you could reach me on the landline
01509, "Grandma, put it down!"
Get me through this sad time
Everything in good faith
[Chorus]
Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
(Called her up, this isn't a test run, called her up)
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me (This isn't a test run, called her up)
You can fall back on me
