just luck

I'm sick of singing love songs
Not really loved up
I work way too hard
To call it just luck
I'm not the same kid
I thought I once was
I'm not the man I thought I'd
Hate to be if I just grew up

Let me talk to your mind
I was gone
Every night
Don't belong
Where I'm from
And these songs
Aren't alright
Is it wrong
If I'm right
I'm too lost
In these lines
I should try

And now I'm feeling off my face
Like that guy from sleepy Hollow
But I'm tryna be the hometown kid
That you would follow
Like yeah I went to school with him
Now Look at where he's going
He's grateful and he's humble
And he's staying independent, man

I just needed somebody to tell me that
I'd amount to something, but
It's a wild wild west when you make it out the jungle
But I'm still in the desert
Digging holes like Barney Rubble
Hoping I'll hit platinum before bedrock
I'm in trouble
Coz I been
On my way
For a long time
Staying up late
For the wrong rhyme
Entendre
That you'll never get
That's ok, I'm a mess
Guess that
I'll sound better dead
On my way
For a long time
Staying up late
For the wrong rhyme
Entendre
That you'll never get
That's ok, I'm a mess
Guess that
I'll sound better dead

Coz I been singing
Love songs
For maybe too long
I ain't the same kid
I thought I once was
But one thing I know that
While I'm not Jon Snow
Is that that same kid
Would think that I'm god
