lyrics
Last night I was on my last breath
I saw God and He wondered where the end is
Sit down, see my crumbling defences
I’ve been good but keep living in detention
It’s like a hurricane telling me to let go
I got a good grip 20 years to lay low
Maybe I’m better off dropping off the payload
If that voice don’t stop I can’t say no
I won‘t go
I won‘t go
Don‘t let go
Don‘t let go
Wake up
We’ll be alright
Don’t wait
I’m an oracle
Seeing those signs
Gotta shake
That snow globe
Do you believe in fate?
See it for yourself
Give it a try
I’ll no longer be here
Don’t wait up
Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup
You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost
See it for yourself
Give it a try
Same shit, different year
Why am I like this?
Setting sail into it
Memories priceless
Take another hit of it 'til I drop down
Don’t wait up, cause I gotta skip town
Baby, this is so sweet, think I’m loving the taste
Weekends so packed, I don’t want wanna be late
Lie to myself, hang it up in a frame
Look back, climbing down the fire escape
I won‘t go
I won‘t go
Don‘t let go
Don‘t let go
Wake up
We’ll be alright
Don’t wait
I’m an oracle
Seeing those signs
Gotta shake
That snow globe
Do you believe in fate?
See it for yourself
Give it a try
I’ll no longer be here
Don’t wait up
Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup
You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost
See it for yourself
Give it a try
I saw God and He wondered where the end is
Sit down, see my crumbling defences
I’ve been good but keep living in detention
It’s like a hurricane telling me to let go
I got a good grip 20 years to lay low
Maybe I’m better off dropping off the payload
If that voice don’t stop I can’t say no
I won‘t go
I won‘t go
Don‘t let go
Don‘t let go
Wake up
We’ll be alright
Don’t wait
I’m an oracle
Seeing those signs
Gotta shake
That snow globe
Do you believe in fate?
See it for yourself
Give it a try
I’ll no longer be here
Don’t wait up
Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup
You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost
See it for yourself
Give it a try
Same shit, different year
Why am I like this?
Setting sail into it
Memories priceless
Take another hit of it 'til I drop down
Don’t wait up, cause I gotta skip town
Baby, this is so sweet, think I’m loving the taste
Weekends so packed, I don’t want wanna be late
Lie to myself, hang it up in a frame
Look back, climbing down the fire escape
I won‘t go
I won‘t go
Don‘t let go
Don‘t let go
Wake up
We’ll be alright
Don’t wait
I’m an oracle
Seeing those signs
Gotta shake
That snow globe
Do you believe in fate?
See it for yourself
Give it a try
I’ll no longer be here
Don’t wait up
Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup
You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost
See it for yourself
Give it a try
