Through the Lonely

I know that you and I have had our fair share of shit happen between us
And like some really cool stuff and then also some really shitty things
And I really want you to know that you've had, over all
Like big picture wise
A really really uh
Meaningful important impact on my life
Yeah and I whole heartedly mean that
Just
What I mean to say is like I don't know what happened
But at the end of the day, I
I still want you to remember the good that you left.

Relationships like record deals, I don't need a label
Restaurants like board rooms, only me at the table
And I'm keeping it stable
They do what they Cain, I still do what I'm Able
Mary Jane is from Cali, I got her down in the Gables
Rolling red leaf emoji, stuck in clouds of the maple
I could move out to Angeltown, but there ain't no angels
Still wearing their halos, that city is the shameful
Yeah it's hot in Miami, but I was born for the heat
And they ain't playing at Staples
If I needed the west coast, I'd go out to Naples
My city been faithful
Yeah, my city been faithful
Through every storm in my life flooding the streets of my mind
Yeah my city been faithful
My dreams are a strong drug, I'm hooked
And I've looked for hit after hit
Enough is what I can't get
Legends leap out of the lonely
I know the only way out is through it
There's no doubt I'll do it
I'll make it through the lonely nights
Yeah through the lonely
Yeah lonely nights
Through the lonely
Through the lonely
Yeah yeah
And I'm on my way...
To the best of all time, yeah I'm on that boat
I'm the captain keeping dreams afloat
And I'm half way there like a dotted note
On a one man crew in the far remote
No one to tie me to the mast
The sirens singing to my past
They got me thinking too fast
Like I could ever go back
I know I won't ever do that, no

Hit after hit
Through the lonely
If I needed the west coast, I'd go out to Naples
My city been faithful
Yeah, my city been faithful
Through every storm in my life flooding the streets of my mind
Yeah my city been faithful
Yeah my city been faithful
Through the lonely

If you can't be good, be good at it, okay
Don't wanna be good, I wanna be great
Even when I catch my break, I won't be hitting the brakes
I've made that mistake
I got the pedal down, I'm driving with eyes closed
Hell if I know where I'm headed
Wherever time goes I'm gonna let it
And I'm gonna let it go
Through the lonely nights
Through the lonely
She must work at the haunted house, she ghosting
Never again to myself I'm toasting
No more texting, I'ma put my phone in
Airplane mode and get into the zone and
Zone in on the music I've chosen
I'm focused, I'm puffing magic like hocus smokus
I was given life for this moment
Every moment, I'm here to own it
And hold
It down
I believe in the hand I was dealt and I'm not about to fold it now
No no no no no no
I'ma hold the crown
And bring it back for my town
Like look at all this gold I found
I never sold my soul I got this whole thing
All from boldly holding my ground
Through the lonely nights
Through the lonely yeah
Through the lonely nights
Through the lonely yeah
Through the lonely nights
Through the lonely
Best of all time, yeah I'm on that boat
I'm on that boat
I'm the captain keeping dreams afloat
Dream's afloat
Half way there like a dotted note
Dotted note
One man crew in the far remote
Far remote
No one to tie me to the mast
Sirens singing to my past
They got me thinking too fast
Like I could ever go back
I know I won't ever do that, no
She calls me back
And by the second ring
I'm cancelling the call
Not answering at all
Through the lonely nights
Through the lonely, yeah
Through the lonely nights, yeah
Through the lonely
