God, this song is so good. John is the voice of every one of us poor teenagers facing the hard, hard truth of growing up.

What it's saying is, life is really sucky...and there's a lot of shit we have to face...and we hurt ourselves and everyone hurts us...but we do the best we can, right. This is life.

He's the voice of anyone who has faced the painful parts of life honestly. I'm just a couple of years older than him and his music helps me through so much. This song kills. I totally agree with you. This is life and how do we make our way through it? Listening to JD helps us navigate. We are what we are, get in the goddamn car. And oh yeah, hang on to your dreams until there's nothing left of them. Yeah!
