lyrics

Wake up to a new day and hit snooze, drift away
It’s the same cycle I’ve been moving in
Alarm rings and my head hurts and no time to iron a shirt well
Guess I’ll be late for work again

Feels like I’m losing my senses
All aspirations on the shelf
When did I build up these fences that I just hide in?
I’m asking myself

Am I giving up or giving in?
Did I let go of dreams of what could've been? I’ve been making my way so long
I don’t belong right here

Oh man running so late
I work myself to a state ‘cause
this traffic jam won’t budge an inch
And I get so confused
Same day just a different blues well
I think I used to want a little bit more than this.

It feels like I’m losing my senses
Just rolling blindly through the days
Tell me when did I build up these fences that I just hide in
I’m fading away

Am I giving up or giving in?
Did I let go of dreams of what could've been? I’ve been making my way so long
I don’t belong right here

How many times have I lost my way?
Only to reach out, you pull me through
It’s ‘cause of you

That I’m giving up on giving in
Gonna make all those dreams real not spread ‘em so thin I’ve been making my way so long
I will belong right here

‘Cause it’s making me hurt
Yeah it’s making me itch
Won’t you throw me your hand because
This life can be a bitch
I’ve been making my way so long, I don’t belong
My way so long, I don’t belong
My way so long, I will belong right here
