[Hook]

In the dead of the night, when I’m away

Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday

When its forgotten you’ll wish I stayed

I’m tryna be right this is my life I can’t wait

So watch us fade

You said you liked a guy with dreams and goals

You were tired of the men who had sold their souls

Followin' the fold, but thats not true

Following the gold that's more like you

Now a chance to escape from all of that life

Cause you wanna escape from all of that right?

Here’s your chance, but I warned you well in advance

Still you decide to try your shot at changin' faces

Tell you right now lady that you know we’re goin' places

Its a wild ride so please girl hold on

Take my hand now girl and we can’t go wrong

Hope you realize chasin' dreams ain’t easy

They’ll be times when you can’t find but need me

Too much of your life’s planned

Lets just wing it life’s a game and I’m beggin' you to bring it

Right here, I know that there’s too much to lose

Its a wake up call girl but you’re still hitting snooze

You say give up too quickly and I don’t know why

But I know you will miss me when you lie awake and cry

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I told you that I wanna be a music man

You said, “alright baby whats your backup plan?”

I wonder why that’s the first place you go

You could have a little faith girl, you know?

I know this dream could be a long shot

But you could show some support and what not

Finally finance I turn and say

Made it up, its what her daddy does anyway

I feel bad how I am forced to lie

Sometimes your dreams need an alibi

Clearly that's an answer that she likes to hear

She grabs my face and whispers something in my ear

“You’re gonna be a great man one day,” yeah maybe I’ll get mine some day

Rather leave and not lie, it ain’t right, now you’re stuck right here girl

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Thinkin' where I was back when I wrote this

Now I know that you probably run around and quote this, focus

Maybe you could find yourself a lesson

Instead of feelin' sorry for yourself and second guessin'

The shoulda, coulda, wouldas, is where you’ve gone wrong

You were prayin' I’d fail, now look what I’m on

Couldn’t stay long cause I felt a purpose but back then I only felt worthless

Yeah, I guess you kinda deserve this

(Chorus x2)

In the dead of the night

I told you girl that you could watch us fade

I’m tryna be right, this is my life I can’t wait

So watch us fade
