[Verse 1]

Trouble in paradise, I need to clarify

I'm making music, but for some reason I'm terrified

Sometimes I think to-

And wonder about my breakthrough

I'm almost there but it only counts

In hand grenades & horseshoes

You see the pain, the beauty that it creates

I'm trying to fly on my own

But I'm stuck up inside this plane

Riding my own wave until I find my own place

And when I do? We're gonna celebrate

Get out the champagne, yeah

I got dreams, and they all involve me

Reaching for the people

And hoping to intervene

As I'm loving with abundance

While I'm praying for your justice

Maybe I can be the person

That these people put their trust in, yeah

I want change, I'm tired of being safe

I want to hear the talk

And I want to see it displayed

The purpose of living life

Is to live it until we die

Don't give it up in the end

We all running up out of time, man

[Hook]

You don't see the things that I see

You don't hear the stuff that I hear

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

You don't know the stuff that I know

And you don't know the pain that I feel

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

[Verse 2]

I'm doing me, so tell them that we don't need

All the things you say you think

If you really care for me

As I'm using what I know

To show the ones I love the most

I apologize for every time

I tried to take control and

For too long, I was trying to impress

But I found myself depressed

I was living with regrets

I was too young

So nothing really ever made sense

I couldn't solve the problem

I was living in suspense

You never listen, I tell you all the time

There's a price you have to pay

To be yourself, if you don't mind

I've been staying up to midnight

And you been on my mind, oh my

Will you love me till the end of the line?

I want change and I'm tired of being safe

I want to hear the talk

And I want to see it displayed

The purpose of living life

Is to live it until we die

Don't give it up in the end

We all running up out of time, man

[Hook]

You don't see the things that I see

You don't hear the stuff that I hear

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

You don't know the stuff that I know

And you don't know the pain that I feel

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

[Hook]

You don't see the things that I see

You don't hear the stuff that I hear

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

You don't know the stuff that I know

And you don't know the pain that I feel

But I've been doing this for too long and I know

That you and I are staying up till Midnight

[Outro]

I think we all go through these seasons of

Depression and we start dealing with things

That we really don't know how to deal with

We try to turn to other people, but at the end

Of the day, there's only one person who can

Really like, you know, help us through our trials

And tribulations, you know I stay up too late

Overthinking, and that kind of is where

Everything starts to go wrong
