Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paid on Friday
Gone by Sunday
Groceries, bills, and a tire with a nail
Mouth full of “sorry”
Hands full of nowhere
Every small mercy seems set up to fail
The sink keeps dripping
The rent keeps looming
My card gets laughed at in the checkout line
I keep on moving
Even half-broken
'Cause quitting ain't ever been my design
[Pre-Chorus]
And the phone keeps ringing
Like it knows my name
I breathe through the panic
I don’t break the same
I’ve been down this road
With my back to the wall
Still I stand up slow
Even after it all
[Chorus]
Two days flat
I’m still here
Two days flat
I don’t disappear
If the floor gives way
I will rise again
Two days flat
But I’m not at the end
Two days flat
I’m still strong
Two days flat
I’ve been holding on
If the night stays long
I’ll outlast the pain
Two days flat
But I’m not done yet
[Verse 2]
Debt collector calls
I let it go to voicemail
Another “final notice” on the front door
Empty-looking pockets
Heavy little secret
I’ve been counting pennies on the bathroom floor
Boss says “later”
Friend says “maybe”
Everybody’s busy when you need a hand
Still I keep breathing
Still I keep walking
I’m building a bridge from what little I can
[Pre-Chorus]
And the phone keeps ringing
Like it knows my name
I breathe through the panic
I don’t break the same
I’ve been down this road
With my back to the wall
Still I stand up slow
Even after it all
[Chorus]
Two days flat
I’m still here
Two days flat
I don’t disappear
If the floor gives way
I will rise again
Two days flat
But I’m not at the end
Two days flat
I’m still strong
Two days flat
I’ve been holding on
If the night stays long
I’ll outlast the pain
Two days flat
But I’m not done yet
[Bridge]
Let them call
Let them talk
I’ve survived worse
Than a warning and a loss
I’ve got grit
In my chest
I can turn a bad stretch
Into my next best
[Final Chorus]
Two days flat
I’m still here
Two days flat
I don’t disappear
If the floor gives way
I will rise again
Two days flat
But I’m not at the end
Two days flat
I’m still strong
Two days flat
I’ve been holding on
If the night stays long
I’ll outlast the pain
Two days flat
And I’m coming back again
