Am I gonna die here? I haven’t been outside the city in months Was I suppose to thrive here? Like everybody else, I’ve been on the hunt Back a few years ago, everything felt so new Street names I didn’t know Strangers and all of their blues Took time to get around this up-n-on-the-go town Future shining so bright Lit by the stars in the eyes Of everyone with a dream and the grit and the drive It’s only the way to survive And then, the city calls your name It’s all that you know It’s all that you need Big City’s gonna run me down Big City, cannot hide But I know I’m gonna run this town If I make it out alive! Somedays I cannot find the city I once knew Tracing it back Summers and shows ago Torn down like rock, paper, shoot It’s hard to forget Where did the magic go? Tell me, was it all a dream? I shake my head, noBig city, big development Can’t erase history And then, the city calls your name It’s all that you know It’s all that you need Big City’s gonna run me down Big City, cannot hide But I know I’m gonna run this town If I make it out alive! Big City, can you hear that sound? It’s working me to overdrive Big City, gonna run me down In this city I’m alive Did you trade stars for the lights? I heard they burn all the same Escape from bigoted fights) The best always live to tell Show yourself who you are? A different face every day Will it get you far? So far and still so far! What if they raise your rent? They’ll never own me Sell all your time, money spent? It’s worth the risk in the end Working yourself to the bone This place was built with them You’ll never be alone! Big City’s gonna run me down Big City, cannot hide But I know I’m gonna run this town If I make it out alive! Big City, can you hear that sound? It’s working me to overdrive Big City, gonna run me down In this city I’m alive Big City’s gonna run me down Big City, cannot hide But I know I’m gonna run this town If I make it out alive! Big City, can you hear that sound? It’s working me to overdrive Big City, gonna run me down In this city I’m alive

Right from the start, I knew you were the king of 2nd chances Now that it’s done, heavy is the head that wears that crown But it’s just the same old story, over again You never learned how to be genuine Time after time, I wish I knew I couldn’t put my faith in you Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say Say what you mean We both know you’re not going to change anyway Say what you mean I won’t play into your games Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say I was a fool, caught up in your web made of white lies You’re gonna need some help when you stumble your way out of the dark But it’s just the same old story, over again You never learned how to be genuine Time after time, I wish I knew I couldn’t put my faith in you Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say Say what you mean We both know you’re not going to change anyway Say what you mean I won’t play into your games Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say Confess to me Say that you’re looking for best in me But, you keep testing me And all I really need is the missing piece I see that you try, you’ve got a lot of work to do I cannot believe I put all of my faith in you Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say Say what you mean We both know you’re not going to change anyway Say what you mean I won’t play into your games Say what you mean I don’t believe anything that you say Say what you mean Say what you mean Say what you mean Anything that you say (repeat)

Romeo Where did you go, after the show? We were going to hang out Romeo With your tilted smile Won’t you stay a while? There’s so much more that I wanna know Hey Romeo!

Romeo doesn’t know how to love But he’s everything I’m dreaming of Just stay here, with no fear My Romeo! My Romeo! Oh! Why can’t you tell it straight to me?

I saw it outside my window I heard it whisper my name I let it get inside my head Don’t want to play this game I followed all of the footsteps They lead right back to me Through all of it, too scared to admit I’m my own worst enemy Because right now is a hard place to be And the past keeps trying to define me But the future is so bright I’m still so tethered to it Creeping like a shadow inside my mind I’m still so tethered to it And it’s taking all of my time I’m still so tethered to it It’s like I’m walking a tightrope about to snap I’m still so tethered to it And it’s giving me a heart attack, oh why It hid from me around the corner It cut me down like a knife First gear into all of my fears Too scared to live my life 
Because sometimes it feels like I’m running a race When the demons inside me pickup pace I’m so stuck in it! Can’t find the exit I know that I’m running out of options Because right now is a hard place to be And the past keeps trying to define me But the future is so bright I’m still so tethered to it Creeping like a shadow inside my mind I’m still so tethered to it And it’s taking all of my time I’m still so tethered to it It’s like I’m walking a tightrope about to snap I’m still so tethered to it And it’s giving me a heart attack, oh why Because right now is a hard place to be And the past keeps trying to define me But the future is so bright I’m still so tethered to it Creeping like a shadow inside my mind I’m still so tethered to it And it’s taking all of my time I’m still so tethered to it It’s like I’m walking a tightrope about to snap I’m still so tethered to it And it’s giving me a heart attack, oh why

Fading
Each day I’m day I’m fading That 9 to 5 won’t keep me alive
Or the dreams I’m chasing Living It don’t feel like living If there’s no life on my Saturday nights I feel like reeling Sunday’s lazy Monday’s hate me Tuesday, light me up Wednesday’s stalling Thursday’s I’m crawling Friday’s aren’t enough But Saturdays are where we run Saturdays are where we run Run, run, run, run, run! Let’s go out tonight Lose ourselves in lights Let’s go out tonight Problems, mmm So many problems, mmm But no solutions or answers To solve them Distance Still so much distance I’ve got my eyes on the finish line But can’t tell if I’m winning Sunday’s lazy Monday’s hate me Tuesday, light me up Wednesday’s stalling Thursday’s I’m crawling Friday’s aren’t enough But Saturdays are where we run Saturdays are where we run But Saturdays are where we run Saturdays are where we run Run, run, run, run, run! I don’t wanna be stone cold and Take it in the 3rd degree I don’t wanna look back at life And wonder what happened to me Bad thoughts and second guesses Are getting the best of me
I just want a side of fun To go with my reality Sunday’s lazy Monday’s hate me Tuesday, light me up Wednesday’s stalling Thursday’s I’m crawling Friday’s aren’t enough But Saturdays are where we run Saturdays are where we run But Saturdays are where we run Saturdays are where we run Run, run, run, run, run!

Stuck in the nothing Tryna find a way It’s hard to make a diamond In just one day Turn on the TV And the world is in flames Gotta be a way out
Don’t wanna play this game Just because I’m in it doesn’t mean I’ll never finish And if I had a minute maybe I could take a second to catch my breath and breathe out Life is just a lesson that we’re all just second guessing cause we don’t have the answer, it’s just one big question Can anybody hear me now? I don’t know, exactly where I’m going! All I know, is that there’s no map to life All I’ve got, is right here in this moment Gimme the keys, and I’ll put it into drive! Started it out with nothin Turning in to somethin Everything’s in this moment Everything’s in this moment Started it out with nothin Turning in to somethin Everything’s in this moment Everything’s in this moment Afraid of the future But it’s so near I can feel it hunt me down Am I in the clear? And they say “Where do you see yourself in the next 10 years?” I just wanna be happy And not live in fear Just because I’m in it doesn’t mean I’ll never finish And if I had a minute maybe I could take a second to catch my breath and breathe out Life is just a lesson that we’re all just second guessing cause we don’t have the answers, it’s all just one big question Can anybody hear me now? I don’t know, exactly where I’m going! All I know, is that there’s no map to life All I’ve got, is right here in this moment Gimme the keys, and I’ll put it into drive! I don’t know, exactly where I’m going! All I know, is that there’s no map to life All I’ve got, is right here in this moment Gimme the keys, and I’ll put it into drive! Started it out with nothin Turning in to somethin Everything’s in this moment Everything’s in this moment Started it out with nothin Turning in to somethin Everything’s in this moment Everything’s in this moment

I make my bed with silver linings I know the day, it could get worse Try to treat the truth like medicine, yeah Doesn’t help if it don’t hurt
 There’s always gonna be ups I’m always gonna let you down I can put on my brave face Parade it around town I’ve been a cynic, a critic, an outright non-believer When the message relayed couldn’t be any clearer That I’m... Never gonna be tough enough Not gonna win that fight Bite my tongue and hold it in Swallow my pride There’ll never come a day Never gonna hear me say I’m not okay

My mom calls, I can’t explain it Feels like I’m circling the drain
The sun is out but I can’t enjoy Because I know soon will come rain

There’s always gonna be ups I’m always gonna let you down I can put on my brave face Parade it around town I’ve been a cynic, a critic, an outright non-believer When the message relayed couldn’t be any clearer That I’m... Never gonna be tough enough Not gonna win that fight Bite my tongue and hold it in Swallow my pride There’ll never come a day Never gonna hear me say I’m not okay I lost time pretending everything’s okay Ignoring the signs that point the other way Spent so many years, trying to find that silver lining But now it seems that I’m finding Seems that I’m finding
 Never gonna be tough enough Not gonna win that fight Bite my tongue and hold it in Swallow my pride There’ll never come a day Never gonna hear me say I’m not okay Never gonna be tough enough Not gonna win that fight Bite my tongue and hold it in Swallow my pride There’ll never come a day Never gonna hear me say I’m not okay
