lyrics

We keep dragging ourselves through these days
Works almost over and we just can't wait to get away
Losing our minds just to pay our bills
Always looking forward to the thrills with all our friends
We're out all night, all night
Looking up at these city lights
Watching the world pass us by
If we could fly, we'd never have our feet touch the ground
Forever walking with our heads in the clouds

We've worked so hard to get where we want to be
No one will stop that, and one day you might see
If you stand in our way then you'll end up just like the rest of them

Snap back! Late nights on these city streets
Sitting around just staring at our blistered feet
Wasting our time and you've turned your back on us
And we know now what we should have known then
Wishing back to those simple days
When friends weren't burning bridges with all of the words that they say
We're not wasting time, we're gonna call everyone of you out
Line by line

We worked so hard to get where we want to be
No one will stop that, and one day you might see
If you stand in our way then you'll end up just like the rest of them

You won't get the best of us!
