Sippin my coffee, tried to shake off the night Ten years have passed since I took up this fight And I keep showing up, but it’s taking so long Got all that I am stacked like chips on the line Just a turn of that wheel and I’ll get it this time Sometimes at night it’s hard to be strong
I used to lie back at home in my bed Wishing that I could see what was ahead And I just had to get out of that little town If I said that I missed it well you know that I lied Whoa can’t help thinking of the simpler times When we would run catching fireflies Catching fireflies
Rap Section: White lines they remind me All those miles I’ve put behind me 2 ounces pours that blew my mind Starless skies that let me fly Careless nights and walks of shame Silhouettes that have no name Aching hearts and tattered dreams Lights so hot they make you scream
Chorus: Just called to say I’ll be alright To hear your voice Been a long, long time To know you’re there I’ll be alright Been dreaming this Whole long way
B-section You, you help me hold on One more day You, you help me hold on One more day
Chorus: The city awakes to the horns and the hum Got this image of you that helps me get along Where the green fields sway in the setting sun I try to keep smiling through the sticks and the stones And when I hear your voice it’s like my favorite song I can do no wrong. I can do no wrong.
Rap Section: Action starts to roll Sends a ripple thru my soul Like honey on my trembling lips Lightning down my finger tips Soulless smiles and empty eyes Never get to see me cry Get me hot and sticky sweet Nights so bright they make you scream
Chorus:
B-section Help me hold on You help me hold on One more day
