[Verse 1]

Hoping, praying, wishing on a shooting star

That shoots up high to come back down and shoot me far

So no one figures where we are

I figure if I drove my car just long enough

That I might take it to the stars

I figure this is figurative, a fever dream

That's got me in a pretzel, I mean figurative

Not literally twisted, just how I feel sometimes

That's how I feel sometimes, that's how I feel sometimes

[Verse 2]

Biking past the cornerstore, there's robbers all the time

Don't stop too long, 'cause they might

Trade a couple dollars for your life

Never seen a dead body of one I knew, but I seen John Doe

Swarmed in by the po', in the middle of the road

Granny died, and I feel guilty, 'cause I never said goodbye

When I seen her last, she looked at me and asked "Who is this guy?"

I smiled and said your grandson, left with tears all in my eyes

Death is all too real to me, I wish my granny still alive

[Bridge]

I'm gon' be leaving real soon, I just can't hold it

My day is coming, and yes, of course I know it

Sitting at the cornerstore bumping my music

Life is way too short, I hope that you don't lose it

[Verse 3]

Pray for me every day of the week

Things I seen haunting my sleep

Weak now, got the shakiest knees, this ain't a dream

Keep a close eye out, there's lions around

They getting ready to pounce on you now

You gotta go to the cornerstore when it's still bright out

'Cause they might just gunning you down

[Outro]

Faith ain't really been the same since I took a few liberties

Those liberties that's really not the biggest sort of friend to me

I'm frantically backtracking just to see where I went wrong

And I can't kneel today so I'll just put my prayer in this song

The voice of God above should tame me, maybe make me

To a better man, a better plan, I'm down to hear it

Whispered words so sweetening, I'm keeping in my feelings

At the cornerstore 'til evening, but He can end my storms

He can keep me warm
