I just wanna live inside sometimes
Don´t wanna have to beg you to subscribe
Are you a man before your father dies?
"But what’s a man these days?" I hear you cry
And are we raising up our children right?

Is my career gonna reignite?
See all the virtue signalers tonight
I want that bandwagon to pass me by

Well, I´ve been scratching around in the dirt
Looking for meaning in the cold, cold earth
To gather in what´s left of your self-worth
Cause only love is what survives of us

Cause I hold onto you
And you hold onto me
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety

Do those kids know that I was somebody?
And I’ve kept all my texts from Amy
My mother was one of those bodies
Another stranger off the ferry

Don´t wanna put my hands up in the air
And raise my phone up like I just don´t care
And [?] blow me down the White House stairs
Oh, did I waste my time on all that prayer?
No, I won´t be your apparatchik
And be the kind who´s blind to all its magic
So here comes your European exit
With asylum seekers in your attic

So I hold onto you
And you hold onto me
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety

Today I do not feel like being strong
I don´t wanna admit to the world I´m wrong
Don´t make me feel that I have to belong
I hope the band won’t make me sing along

Cause I hold onto you
And you hold onto me
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety
A shining victory in the age of anxiety

I hope the band won’t make me sing along
I hope the band won´t make me sing along
Oh, mmm
The age of anxiety
I hope the band
I hope the band
I hope the band
I hope the band

I hope the band won’t make me
Whoa, whoa
I hope the band won´t make me
Whoa, whoa

I hope the band won´t make me
Whoa, whoa
I hope the band won´t make me
Whoa, whoa (Love survives of us)
Whoa, whoa (Love survives of us)
Whoa, whoa (Only love survives of us)
(Whoa, only love survives of us)
