Thirteen in some ripped jeans looking for love
Feeling so lost in a romcom daydream
Burning those Kanye and Green Day CDs
All the cool kids were hyped on liquor and drugs
I was too scrawny to make it on JV
So none of the girls talked to me at parties
I locked myself in my room each night
When I needed someone to lift me up
Oh
Every time I gave up on life
Yeah you lifted me up
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It made me feel like I'm not alone
I learned to fight to the drums of a rock song
Drown out the world with the stereo
When those records play it take me back
To the kid I used to know
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It let me know that I 'm not alone
Nineteen with a pipe dream pushing my luck
Carving my name in a brand new city
Walking to class still a little bit tipsy
Making out on the south lawn, sun rising up
Driving to IHOP at 2am, you and me
Singing those Kendrick and Daft Punk melodies
My heart broke on a Friday night
And I needed someone to lift me up
Oh
When the tears flooded up my eyes
Yeah you lifted me up
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It made me feel like I'm not alone
I learned to fight to the drums of a rock song
Drown out the world with the stereo
When those records play it take me back
To the kid I used to know
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It let me know that I 'm not alone
Looking back on those heavy times
It was a melody that got me, got me by
I was so young tryna find my light
It was your melody that got me, got me by
Looking back on those heavy times
It was a melody that got me, got me by
I was so young tryna find my light
It was your melody that got me, got me by
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It made me feel like I'm not alone
I learned to fight to the drums of a rock song
Drown out the world with the stereo
When those records play it take me back
To the kid I used to know
I found myself in the words of a pop song
It let me know that I 'm not alone
No I'm not alone
Oh
Oh
No I'm not alone
Oh
Oh
I'm not alone
