X: In the dead of the night
When I'm away
Do you think about
Tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten
You'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right
This is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade.
X: With dreams and goals
You were tired of the men
Who had sold their souls
Following the fold,
But that's not true.
Following the gold,
That's more like you.
Now a chance to escape
From all of that life
'Cause you want to escape
From all of that right?
Here's your chance
But I warned you well in advance.
Still you decide to try your shot
At changin' faces
I'll tell you right now lady
That you know we're going places.
It's a wild ride
So please girl hold on,
Take my hand now girl
And we can't go wrong.
Hope you realize
Chasing dreams ain't easy,
They'll be times
When you can't find but eed me
Too much of your life's planned,
Let's just wing it life's a game
And I'm begging you
To bring it right here
Right here
I know
I know
That there's too much too lose.
It's a wake up call girl,
But you're still hitting snooze.
You say "give up"
Too quickly and I don't know why.
But I know you will miss me
When you lie awake and cry.
X: In the dead of
The night when I'm away
Do you think about
Tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten
You'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right
This is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade.
I told you
That I wanna be a music man
You said
"alright baby
What's your back up plan?"
I wonder why
That's the first place you go.
You could have
A little faith girl,
You know?
I know this dream
Could be a long shot,
But you could show
Some support and what not.
Finally finance
I turn and say
Made it up,
It's what her daddy does anyway.
I feel bad
How I am forced to lie,
Sometimes your dreams
Need an alabi.
Clearly that's an answer
She likes to hear,
She grabs my face
And whispers something in my ear:
"you're gonna be
A great man one day."
Yeah maybe
I'll get mine someday.
Rather leave and not lie,
It ain't right
But now you're stuck
Right here girl.
In the dead of
The night when I'm away
Do you think about
Tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten
You'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right
This is my life I can't wait
I just can't wait
So watch us fade.
Thinkin' where I was back
When I wrote this
Now I know that
You probably run around
And quote this, focus
Maybe you could find
Yourself a lesson
Instead of feelin' sorry
For yourself and second guessin'
The shoulda, coulda, wouldas,
Is where you've gone wrong
You were prayin' I'd fail,
Now look what I'm on
Couldn't stay long
'Cause I felt purpose
But back then
I only felt worthless
Yeah, I guess
You kinda deserve this
X: In the dead of
The night when I'm away
Do you think about
Tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten
You'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right
This is my life I can't wait
In the dead of the night
When I'm awake
Do you think about tomorrow
Or yesterday when it's
Forgotten do you wish I stayed?
I'm tryna be right
This is my life
I can't wait so watch us fade.
In the dead of the night
I told you girl
That you could watch us fade
I'm tryna be right,
This is my life I can't wait,
So watch us fade
Yeah
Oh
