The Last Hurrah

Turn off the radio
No more blasting stereos
I got nowhere to go
No, place to go
Can’t take it easy
Can’t take it easy, can’t take it slow
I feel uneasy
This is the beginning of the end
The last hurrah
Last hurrah
Things have gone to shit
And I’m running on empty
The last hurrah
Last hurrah
Living day by day
And begging for mercy
I’m walking on eggshells
Tippy toeing all day long
I don’t want to offend anybody
And this is no longer fun
Life can be deceiving
Can chew you up and leave you grieving
All it takes is one wrong move
And then it's goodbye motherfucker
The last hurrah
Last hurrah
I burned all the bridges now
I’m trying to find a way out
The last hurrah
Last hurrah
Time's not up but
I'm about to jump the gun.

Riding on your high horse
Pulling all the strings
Acting like you’re better
You’ll do anything for a win
You’ll shoot them down, run them over
Stab them on the back
Then you come pick them up
But it’s a fucking trap
You two faced liar, I’m fucking tired
Of the same old crap
You bite the hand that feeds you
You are fucking wack
But your time will come
Don’t act like you did no wrong
You reap what you sow
You are fucking done
You’re fucking scum
Trust no one
Just watch your own back
There’re wolves among sheep
This shit runs so deep
If karma’s a bitch
You’ll end up in a ditch
Crashing your car
Spinning out of control.

Time to Shine
02:03

I'm gonna get up off the floor
Don’t wanna waste more time
Want you to be mine
I threw my self-doubt out the door
It's gonna be fine
It’s our time to shine
Rocky starts and broken hearts
I don’t want that no more
Busted lips, I called it quits
It broke me down to the core
I’ll jump through hoops and start a coup
For the one that I adore
I’ll tie the knot, don’t see why not
Let’s just see what’s in store
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
So I can be with you today
I don’t have a clue
But I will find a way
I won’t fuck it up, I’ll never stray
Every now and then I feel like throwing it all away
But that’s when I see you and you are smiling
And that smile helps me embrace the pain and the decay
When you’re close by, I'm always thriving
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
So I can be with you today
I don’t have a clue
But I will find a way
I won’t fuck it up, I’ll never stray
I'm gonna get up off the floor
Don’t wanna waste more time
Want you to be mine
I threw my self-doubt out the door
It's gonna be fine
It’s our time to shine.

Fuck dying, you know
I wanna live forever
Keep trying, let's go
We’re in this together
Time is of the essence
I'm done with convalescence
You got one life
One chance
Lessons have been learned
Wheels have been turned
I'm no longer torn
Now I just feel reborn
Life’s a rollercoaster ride
But I take it in stride
No huffing and puffing
Living on cloud nine
Time is of the essence
I'm done with convalescence
You got one life
One chance
Lessons have been learned
Wheels have been turned
I'm no longer torn
Now I just feel reborn
The time is now
The place is here
It’s safe and sound
No room for fear
The time is now
Get off the ground
When push comes to shove
I’ll put on my gloves
I’ll fight back
To stay on top
I’m all in
No looking back
Fuck dying, you know
I wanna live forever.

That’s just what you do

It feels like
I'm floating on clouds
And you’re my
Reason to stick around
And with you I feel complete
You’re the missing piece I need
I hope we never part
You came and stitched my heart
I blew out all the candles, wished for you and now I have you
I will treat you right, I cross my heart and hope to die
Days look brighter, spirits are higher I no longer feel blue
And it’s all thanks to you, that’s just what you do
That’s just what you do
I'm counting the nights
Till I see you
Can’t get you off my mind
Do you miss me too?
That’s what I wonder
All I can do is ponder
And aim for the best
It’s me and you against the rest

We tried it once
But we weren’t ready
Some time has passed
And now you’re my steady
Two time's a charm
Our love's standing strong
You were always the one
And I should have known that all along
It’s funny how life
Works out sometimes
Open your heart and
Trust in the signs
All that matters
Is you are mine
Is it forever?
Cause I wouldn’t mind
And I am with you
Come rain or shine
And our love's like fine wine
A savour so simple yet so damn right.

I'm revved up
Summer came and went so fast
Now autumn’s up
Just hoping it will be a blast
I can’t wait
To feel your lips on mine
We will celebrate
It’s been so long since last time
This distance’s killing me
Without you I barely breathe
Some nights I cannot sleep
Just hoping to hold you tight
I’ll carry on
All through the four seasons
Now bottoms up
Let’s toast to love, I fell for you
I just hate
It’s almost time to say goodbye
And I contemplate
Leaving everything behind
This distance’s killing me
Without you I barely breathe
Some nights I cannot sleep
Just hoping to hold you tight
I’m longing to kiss you goodnight
I still remember
The beginning of September
Twenty nineteen
You were the cutest I’ve ever seen
That’s when it started
And I don’t want this to ever end
Autumn’s almost over
And winter’s taking over
I don’t wanna leave you
This is fucking torture
Back to nights alone
Just talking on the phone
How long can we do this?
This is fucking torture.

And in this place we’re in
You’ve shown me all I’ve got
All the mistakes I’ve made
No longer look the same
Come along with me
Join me surrender
Nothing to hold on
No obligations
Forget what you believe
Forgive for not knowing
No ends or means and
That is everything
The steps to undertake
The smiles behind our wins
The ghost that we have faced
Were never really there
Pass the ball whenever you feel ready
I’m not one that gets impressed easily
In the presence of surprise, I gave in
In what we resist, I see where to begin.

I’ve been away for so long
I thought it would help me feel fine
Oh boy, I was so wrong
It just made me waste my time
Now I'm playing catch up
Not exactly where I’ll like to be
I'm just down and washed up
I'm not the change I’ll like to see
This is not my day, my month not even my year
I just wanna hide inside till the coast is clear
This is not my day, my month not even my year
I'm just gonna close my eyes until the end is here
I hope the end is near
Strung out and out of control
I'm counting sheep, trying to sleep
Oh no, I was dealt a blow
That’s it I'm done now you’re six feet deep
I have no reason to wake up
I wish things were like they used to be
Now all is torn and messed up
I'm in pain and lost at sea
This is not my day, my month not even my year
I just wanna hide inside till the coast is clear
This is not my day, my month not even my year
I'm just gonna close my eyes until the end is here
I hope the end is near
Tell me the end is here.

I'm burnout, I'm tired
I'm drowning, got fired
I'm crying, I'm sighing
I'm fed up, I'm dying
I'm going through the motions
Not feeling my emotions
Not living up to my potential
I'm so existential
This feels like the end
I don’t wanna pretend
Like everything’s OK
Cause it’s not
I'm livid, I'm rabid
I'm full of bad habits
I'm angry, can’t take this
Please end this goddammit
I'm going through the motions
Not feeling my emotions
Not living up to my potential
I'm so existential
This feels like the end
I don’t wanna pretend
Like everything’s OK
Cause it’s fucking not.
So don’t come here telling me it’ll be ok
When you can’t even promise that you’ll stay
And I hope things will be better someday
But for now get outta my way

Talk about Her
02:49

I see her when I close my eyes
What won’t I do to keep her by my side
She’s so dreamy, so beautiful
She’s always slaying from head to toe
And she’s an angel in disguise
She showed up right on time
I feel so lucky, I'm so grateful
She’s got my back when I'm feeling low
And don’t make me start talking bout her smile
Cause I will go on for quite a while
Even more if I talk about her heart
That’s what got me hooked on from the start
She’s soft-spoken
I'm no longer broken
And I owe that to her
Now the pain's just a blur
What can’t we withstand?
Walking hand in hand
She’s the one I adore
I couldn’t ask for more

Till the End
02:45
|

Goodbyes are tough if you focus on the bye
The good is what matters, so please don’t cry
I’ll think about the times I had you by my side
Whatever happens next, I’ll just enjoy the ride
I know I’ll try my best
I'm sure I’ll give it all
I’ll live without regrets
Even if I fall
Cause I know, I’ll get up again
I’ll fight, I’ll fight till the end
That’s what I learned from you, my friend
And I still miss you every day, I can’t pretend
Life can change in the blink of an eye
I hope I'm at peace the day that I die
No one wants a life, a life full of sighs
Or to be at the end just asking why
I know I’ll try my best
I'm sure I’ll give it all
I’ll live without regrets
Always standing tall
And I know, I’ll get up again
I’ll fight, I’ll fight till the end
That’s what I learned from you, my friend
But I still miss you every day, I can’t pretend.
