[Verse 1]
I can hear it calling me
Ten miles above a cloud-covered canopy
Colors like a tapestry
Shimmerin’ like beads in the summer sea
And I've been on the freeway
Tryna chase it like today was my last day
Get a hold before it fades away
I'm a slave to the beat, I'm a slave to the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Some of these things just don't feel right
I've been on the same road my whole life
Starin’ at horizons gone from sight
Losin’ my focus 'cause I can't see through the blinding lights
Wanna go, wanna go
Find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
I'm too slow, too slow
Blink and you might miss it pass right by the window
[Chorus]
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets?
Are we just fools tryna find all of the pieces, pieces, pieces?
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets?
How many steps down the road does it take?
It's a long wait away, it's a long wait away, yeah
[Verse 2]
Standing right in front of me (Standing right in front of me)
Just one but it feels like infinity (Feels like infinity)
And you're in the vicinity (Livin’ up)
Livin’ up everything that I wanna be
And what's the point of hustlin’
Paralyzed while the city streets are bustlin’
My sense of self is paper-thin
I'm a slave to the beat, I'm a slave to the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Some of these things just don't feel right
I've been on the same road my whole life
Starin’ at horizons gone from sight
Losin’ my focus 'cause I can't see through the blinding lights
Wanna go, wanna go
Find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
I'm too slow, too slow
Blink and you might miss it pass right by the window
[Chorus]
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets?
Are we just fools tryna find all of the pieces, pieces, pieces?
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets?
How many steps down the road does it take?
It's a long wait away, it's a long wait away, yeah
[Bridge]
It's a long wait away, but the views are all the same (Views are all the same)
They race me by while I'm stuck in the center lane (Stuck in the center lane)
I swear that life just feels like one big game (Feels like one big game)
We pass the speed limit as if anything would ever change
(Some of these things just don't feel right)
(I've been on the same road my whole life)
(Some of these things just don't feel right)
(I've been on the same road my whole life)
Ca-Ca-Camouflaged underneath these blinding lights
(Oh…)
[Chorus]
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets? (If we drop dead, will they tell us all…)
Are we just fools tryna find all of the pieces, pieces, pieces?
If we drop dead will they tell us all the secrets, secrets, secrets?
How many steps down the road does it take?
It's a long wait away, it's a long wait away, yeah
