Too Tight Again

Letra

[Verse 1] Rent eats the paycheck first Groceries fill the cart with hurt Gas climbs up one more time Every dollar leaves a line Bills piled high on the table Truth feels thinner by the label We keep smiling through the squeeze Try to make a little peace [Pre-Chorus] Kids ask why the drawer is bare Parents say, "We'll get there" But the clock keeps taking more From every house on every floor [Chorus] Money's too tight again Too tight to breathe Too tight again For you and me We work, we wait We watch it fall Money's too tight again It's hitting us all [Verse 2] Newsflash signs in every town Pushing hopes and wages down Shelves are full but hands are thin Same old race we can't quite win Roads need more than promises Phones ring out with empty lists Boss says, "Hang on, stay afloat" While the month slips off the boat [Pre-Chorus] We can feel it in the line At the bank and in our minds Every day the pressure shows On every face the country knows [Chorus] Money's too tight again Too tight to breathe Too tight again For you and me We work, we wait We watch it fall Money's too tight again It's hitting us all [Bridge] Still we light the stove Still we show up slow Still we make it home With less than we were sold One more hard year One more bill to pay But we keep each other near And push through anyway [Final Chorus] Money's too tight again Too tight to breathe Too tight again For you and me We work, we wait We watch it fall Money's too tight again It's hitting us all Money's too tight again But we won't break Money's too tight again Still, we make a way
