CHORUS:
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.
VERSE:
You said you like the guy 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 will miss me when you lie awake and cry.
CHORUS:
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.
VERSE 2:
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, its 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.
CHORUS:
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.
BRIDGE:
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
CHORUS:
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.
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
