## Lyrics

[Hook]

And it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

[Verse 1]

And I got the call soon as the day hit night

As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside

I stopped the car and came outside

Cause I know that tone

I remember the first time

We wished upon parallel lines

Waiting for a friend to call

And say they're still alive

[Pre-Chorus]

I've given everyone I know

A good reason to go

I was surprised you stuck around

Long enough to figure out

[Hook]

That it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

[Verse 2]

And now all my loves that come back to haunt me

My regrets and texts sent to taunt me

I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand

[Pre-Chorus]

I've given everyone I know

A good reason to go

But I came back with the belief

That everyone I love is gonna leave me

[Hook]

And it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

[Bridge]

And I know, oh no

You've fallen from the sun

Crashing through the clouds

I see you burning out

And I know, oh no

That I put up a front

But maybe, just this once

Let me keep this one

[Hook]

Yeah it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

Yeah, it's all alright

I guess it's all alright

I got nothing left inside of my chest

But it's all alright

## Commentary

* "The two songs that we have them singing, it just seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a children's choir to sing behind it. The songs are, I guess, a little whimsical and that always, to me, works so well. It adds such a nice emotionality to have a children's choir sing to it."

## Notes

* Originally, they were going to have an indie band sing the chorus to the song, but instead they went with the children's choir, according to Jack.
