Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I have been wandering for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
Took a stab in the dark and missed again, I believe
The hardest part is not seeing what I used to see
My faith grew to adult, but worry does all it can
You whisper in both my ears make believe stories
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I've found myself against all the odds again
I like to think I am strong, and them I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah, I showed up late, got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punch-drunk but I'm laughing
Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playing games with my head
10 hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
Scream out to my God and say I do what I can
How am I going to move on from this circumstance?
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I've found myself against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I have been wandering for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
Took a stab in the dark and missed again, I believe
The hardest part is not seeing what I used to see
My faith grew to adult, but worry does all it can
You whisper in both my ears make believe stories
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I've found myself against all the odds again
I like to think I am strong, and them I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah, I showed up late, got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punch-drunk but I'm laughing
Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playing games with my head
10 hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
Scream out to my God and say I do what I can
How am I going to move on from this circumstance?
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I've found myself against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again

Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
The hardest part is not seein' what I used to see
My faith grew to a top but worry does all it can
To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
I find myself against all the odds again
Well I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah showed up late, got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punch drunk, but I'm laughin'
Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playin' games with my head
Ten hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
Scream up to my God, say, "I do what I can"
How am I gonna move on from this circumstance?
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
I find myself against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again

I'm not even on my own yet and I can still feel this song. Mark Foster is brilliant lyricist as well as songwriter and musician. His words make such connections with me and I'm sure many other people.
Love this song! Really catchy, and if what I think it means is correct, then relatable.
I think it's basically about someone going through a pretty tough time, and everything's not going their way. They're makin' mistakes, feelin' pretty down... But they're trying to get through it. They're not giving up. Though, I also think that it's trying to say that just one guy going through all this alone makes him a hero. The part where he says "Where are my friends now? They're not here when I need them" shows that he's not getting much support, or basically when things get tough, his friends leave. And he may feel like he's not doing so great, but he doesn't realize that he's a hero ("Unsuspecting Hero") for trying to make it through and get past it.
Pretty incredible, if ya ask me. If you didn't ask me, then it's still incredible. Anyone who faces difficult situations with a good head on their shoulders and a positive outlook is, in my opinion, a "hero". Especially if all their friends run and hide because something got tricky or tough. This song is relatable and motivating :)
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you waste it
Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
The hardest part is not seein' what I used to see
My fifth route to endeavor where it does all it can
To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories
Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah I find myself against all the odds again
I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah showed up late
Got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punched drunk
But I'm laughin'
Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playin' games with my head
Ten hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
Scream up to my God, say "I do what I can"
How am I gonna move out from this circus dance?
Where are all of my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah I find myself against all the odds again
Yeah, yeah
I'm against all the odds again
