[Verse 1] I count my dollars by hand Lay them out on the table Tap the bills in a line Try to make them stay stable Rent took a bite Groceries took the rest I swear I was ahead Then the week came in and pressed [Pre-Chorus] I do the math twice Still it slips through Every little raise Gets swallowed by the blue I fold it, I hide it In a paper jar But the prices keep climbing Like they know where you are [Chorus] Save it, save it Watch it fade away Save it, save it Gone before the day Save it, save it I need a better plan Save it, save it I’m doing all I can [Verse 2] I cut back on the extras Changed the brand, skipped the treat Kept the lights low in the room Skipped a ride and walked the street Every saved-up dollar Feels lighter in my palm Like a receipt in the rain Like a promise going calm [Pre-Chorus] I do the math twice Still it slips through Every little raise Gets swallowed by the blue I fold it, I hide it In a paper jar But the prices keep climbing Like they know where you are [Chorus] Save it, save it Watch it fade away Save it, save it Gone before the day Save it, save it I need a better plan Save it, save it I’m doing all I can [Bridge] If I hold on tight Will it last the night? If I skip one more thing Do I get to feel alright? I’m not asking for gold Just a little room to breathe A small stack of hope That don’t leave me [Final Chorus] Save it, save it Watch it fade away Save it, save it Gone before the day Save it, save it I need a better plan Save it, save it I’m doing all I can Save it, save it Watch it fade away Save it, save it I’m doing all I can
