lyrics

Back and forth between two cities I'm living,
To ease my heart and release my pity
But I do it all for you.
Searching high and low for a nine to five so
I don't feel like I'm wasting my time.
But I do it all for you.

Now where do we go, when all that we know
Are the simple things to survive.

So get up up up I've had enough of this life.
Get up up up this world has stripped you from pride.
I'm standing up to finally claim what's mine
And I'm not turning back.

Shake me down I've fallen short of the lies
And I've sold my soul so I could live the good life
But I do it all for you.
Break me down my body's torn
And I got a lot to say so I wait my turn
Driving back and forth in between these roads
And I could've sworn that I've been here before.
If time is of the essence and you count me counting my blessings
then you know that it's worth guessing, I'd do it again it'll just take a second.
