Unknown

I'm blacked out in the back of a taxi
Black sky, no stars to distract me
I knew that I would leave alone
A little quiet and cold, 20 miles to go
I feel trapped in a beat down hotel room
The raindrops tell me I should replace you
My head is spinning round and round
Cause I'm filled with doubt in a foreign town
Another party, another madhouse
I feel like the walls are closing in now
And I'm scared that you'll never leave my head
I should have stayed in bed

I don't want to see another ugly sunrise
I want a morning where I wake and look in your eyes
I've been so close to losing myself for somebody else
And the future's unknown, but it's mine alone
Before it's said and done, I gotta take control
There's no rest on the way to the throne

I think I missed the train about four years ago
I got to the station, I didn't know where to go
So I took the subway to the edge of town
I might have been lost, but I've never felt so found
Some nights when it's just a little quiet, I think about the life that I wanted
If you don't have the things you want, you've gotta work with what you've got

So I don't want to see another ugly sunrise
Or drive an hour just to get a little shuteye
I've been so close to losing myself to be somebody else
And the future's unknown, but it's mine alone
Before it's said and done, I gotta take control
There's no rest on the way to the throne

So don't forget that night on Colorado Street
Where she asked for his hand between the sheets
And I fell in love with who I could have been
Big city dreams I gave up way back when

So if not now, when will my life begin
So if not now, when will my life begin
So if not now, when will my life begin
So if not now, when will my life begin

So I don't want to see another ugly sunrise
All that time left alone, I'm feeling more wise
I've been so close to losing myself for somebody else
And the future's unknown, but it's mine alone
Before it's said and done, I gotta take control
There's no rest on the way to the throne

I won't ever see another ugly sunrise
I'm fine if I never look in your eyes
I've been too close to losing myself for somebody else
And the future's unknown, but it's mine alone
Before it's said and done, I gotta take control
There's no rest on the way to the throne
