lyrics
Verse I:
They think this happens overnight/
But you are so mistaken/
Writing verses, working overtime/
I'm just being patient/
Light some incense up on this musical high/
Got me Feeling like Russell Crowe from 'A Beautiful Mind'/
So quit stressin', why you texting? I won't set you aside/
I don't choose to reply, you know I'm just trying to write/
This album, that single, this treatment for that visual/
My whole life's Titanic, you know there won't be no sequels/
Meet deadlines, make headlines, I don't see how she feels/
These white lies, these skylines, caught up in these cheap thrills/
For the moment, just stay put, I'll make good, in no time/
Blinded by what's not mine, they build me up, then I nose dive/
And the sky might fall when these doves cry, so far gone in my own mind/
I guess you know how this story writes, if you love something then let it fly/
Chorus:
I know right where I belong, this is all I'm dreaming/
I'll be right there by your side, maybe not this evening/
We can light a fuse and we let this thing burn/
I'm so afraid, you forget who we were/
I got caught in a maze, I could never return/
They say they always believe ya/
Then they go on and leave ya/
I think they all got Amnesia/
Verse II:
They don't know about the sacrifice/
All the pain I tasted/
You said there's someone laying by your side/
Well I know that it's vacant/
This conversation again, you know you play on my mind/
Fighting till the batteries are dead, for the 50th time/
So in circles we spin, when neither of us are right/
I refuse to acknowledge it, still I don't compromiseee/
This picture, this movie, this outcome that I've scripted/
So if you say you trust me, don't tell me that I'm distant/
Criticism I digested, I know where I'm destined/
The fact that i been over looked, means they got my attentionnnn/
This tension, I can't take, My heart rate, feels burnt out/
Her perfumes, motel rooms, go up in flames, they burn down/
If they call this our final hour, well I think they should learn to count/
I guess you know how this story sounds, If you got dreams go get em now/
Chorus x 1
