She called me late last night again,
She asked me "how have you been?"
I haven't heard from you in days
Tell me are you doing okay?
I just want to hear your voice
Remind me of when we made noise
I'm going crazy this time
Waiting for you on the other line.
You're chasing cars after midnight
And I'm still chasing the plans you left behind
So if you see me in the street
Just remember everything you told me.
And confirm that they're all lies.
You said you wanted me to be
What you couldn't give me
And you were begging me to stay,
But then you had to go and leave
I just don't understand,
What you want from me
Cause I'm doing all I can,
To solve this mystery.
You're chasing cars after midnight
And I'm still chasing the plans you left behind
So if you see me in the street
Just remember everything you told me.
And confirm that their all lies.

Careful now it's open season,
there's a ban here on succeeding,
all the signs i keep misreading
point me in the same direction
Open road is what i'm needing,
There's a tax on what we're breathing,
we all say we'll soon be leaving
as we look to our feet
Chorus:
Dont you know the best succeed and all else fail,
So don't be greedy take what you're dealt
Cause you dont need the life you've dreamed
You don't need the life you've dreamed
Verse 2:
They say you only get one shot but i've
already emptied half a dozen clips,
Be patient for your chance but all i've
seen is wasted opportunity
Give it all you've got and now you've given
all your stuff away for free
So dig that grave and dig it deep and
they said dream when you're asleep
Chorus:
Dont you know the best succeed and all else fail,
So don't be greedy take what you're dealt
Cause you dont need the life you've dreamed
You don't need the life you've dreamed
Interlude:
I took a step across that line,
ran away to get outside and there's
no limit to the things that can be
mine if I try
If you've given up on reaching
then its far too late for teaching
just go buy into their preaching
safety by conformity

When I was young
The whole world seemed like it was so cut out for me
And as I grew I thought I knew
What my heart had told me to do
For now I ponder, thinking things I never thought were stored inside
Before I hit gold , I'll walk on thin ice
Now the days drag on and on
My perception of time is usually wrong
My conception of money is false but I learned with a beating heart you can get what you want
and I long for
Chorus-
You looking the other way and my own blood having some faith in me
For once, I'm sick and tired of drowning in responsibilities
I want this whole damn town to set on fire, the truth ripped out of the all fucking liars and I'm so sick and tired of getting older , if you stand still nothing gets closer
As soon as you turned your back to me,
I found peace of mind, and a new strategy
To tread on without the faith of my family,
nothing they say will matter anyway
I swear that this whole town will go up in flames,
the liars will be buried in their own debris
In my heart I will never get older but all I ever wanted was
Chorus-
You looking the other way and my own blood having some faith in me
For once, I'm sick and tired of drowning in responsibilities
I want this whole damn town to set on fire, the truth ripped out of the all fucking liars and I'm so
Qsick and tired of getting older , if you stand still nothing gets closer
I'm done standing still
I'll burn this whole city down
