Limelight
Every day I got that big cloud over me
Every now and then I hate the life that I've lived
I won't act like I don't hear the crowd in my head
'Cause I don't wanna be stuck with all these doubts till I'm dead yeah
Just turned to the age of twenty
Pushed away the kind of guy who thought he had plenty
Looking up into the sky, this should be my century
I am about to be taking off, we're just starting the assembly, yeah
For all those days that were dark
For all those times that I thought
I will never light that spark
I can guarantee you'll never get that far (that far)
Why not give a shot at the shine of the limelight?
I just wanna know if it feels right
Down on the low, does it feel right?
I keep running and running and running
There is no end in sight (I keep)
Running and running and running
Right into the limelight (limelight)
They know that I just wanna see the bright lights
Cars are rushing by, making sure to show their bright sides now
I'll be reaching for these new heights
And when the sun comes up, it's gon' be just right
Trying to figure out, when I started wanting this
Wondering out aloud, I'm just trying to reminisce
I just couldn't tell reality from all these hits
So then I took their word and ran off on my way to bliss, yeah
I know it doesn't matter what Mercedes I'll drive
Or which of these Instagram models I'll wife
That's the lifestyle, when you gonna drop by
You are gonna see that we're indulging in this wildlife
I hate to paraphrase what my mum has always said
But you're always acting stubborn, you were always acting mad
You're just looking for respect and one day you'll understand
But don't you know my clock is running out of sand?
Why not give a shot at the shine of the limelight?
I just wanna know if it feels right
Down on the low, does it feel right?
I keep running and running and running
There is no end in sight (I keep)
Running and running and running
Right into the limelight (limelight)
They know that I just wanna see the bright lights
Cars are rushing by, making sure to show their bright sides now
I'll be reaching for these new heights
And when the sun comes up, it's gon' be just right
I guess I gotta live like that (like that)
I guess I gotta live my life like that
I guess I gotta live like that (like that)
I guess I gotta live my life like that
So I can finally quit it all and never look back (never)
Look back till it is faded to black
So I'll be satisfied living the life I've always had
Making sure this is to be left in the past
Running and running and running
There is no end in sight (I keep)
Running and running and running
Right into the limelight (limelight)
They know that I just wanna see the bright lights
Cars are rushing by, making sure to show their bright sides now
I'll be reaching for these new heights
And when the sun comes up, it's gon' be just right
This has been a long night
Everything you'd ever want is to put up a strong fight, now
I'll be watching for this blue tide
And when the water stops, I know I that I'm gonna rise
Every now and then I hate the life that I've lived
I won't act like I don't hear the crowd in my head
'Cause I don't wanna be stuck with all these doubts till I'm dead yeah
Just turned to the age of twenty
Pushed away the kind of guy who thought he had plenty
Looking up into the sky, this should be my century
I am about to be taking off, we're just starting the assembly, yeah
For all those days that were dark
For all those times that I thought
