Your parents say you're too much to handle
But I think they're just scared
They're in love with suburbia and you're anywhere else but there
I wish they saw you like I do instead of looking through their neighbor's eyes
But as hard as you try, they won't so just let me hold you tight

I can be there for you
You're my football team
And I'm rooting for you

All your stars are heroes just 'cause they run real fast
They don't even know you
But you wear their numbers on your back
I watch you chase for approval
Only to find a kind of hell because the only way to win that game is to sacrifice yourself

Why can't they leave you alone, leave you alone
So let me hold you
Let me hold you close

I can be there for you
You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you
I can be there for you
You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you

So let me hold you close, let me hold you close let me hold you close
So let me hold you close, let me hold you close let me hold you close
