Lyrics:

Wake up to the sounds of now 
maybe you and I should meet 
in a place that's so far out
 let's pretend we fell asleep

Let's sneak out tonight 
& forget about our lives
Let's sneak out tonight 
& forget about our lives

Won't you hold my hand? 
we'll play along the sand 
no one knows our plan
 the morning light has eyes

Let's sneak out tonight 
& forget about our lives 
we don't have much time
 so let's enjoy our high

Let's sneak out tonight 
& forget about our lives 
we never had it right, no 
 we never had it right

Let's sneak out tonight 
& forget about our lives
 Let's forget out our lives

One of a Kind

Lyrics:

never did you’d think you’d find a way
to make it out alive and plan your escape
it’s 4am and we’re wide awake
today.
waiting on luck from a shooting star
praying out loud and from the heart
you never ever thought you’d go this far
without...

ignoring who you are
living through a mental cage
forgetting what’s most important to you

it’s so hard to choose
the words to say to you
all i wanna do with you is venture through the night (“hi.”)

skipping all the steps that you won’t regret
finding out a way different from what they said
make your own mark even if you’ve shed a tear
never did you’d think you’d find a way
to make it out alive and plan your escape
it’s 4am and we’re wide awake
today.

death is not your fear (no)
if your mind is clear of
all the evil thoughts
that haunt you when you’re lost

it’s so hard to choose
the words to say to you
all i wanna do with you is venture through the night (“hi.”)

venture

Lyrics:

You never have to feel alone
Just hit me up to go and smoke
And talk about the things we want
But yet they never seem to come

Hello, welcome to my world
Woah, it's going in swirls
I know it hurts letting go
Of you my dear

I'll let you know when I'm okay
Cuz I don't want to live like this
Without your kiss upon my lips
I feel like I just don't exist

Take me back to when we knew
How it felt to find ourselves
By the water from our dreams
It's hard to tell what all this means

I'll keep your secrets safe with me
I trust in you as equally
Don't doubt the bliss when feeling this
Emotion to reminisce

Hello, welcome to my world
Woah, it's going in swirls
I know it hurts letting go
Of you my dear

I'll let you know when I'm okay
Cuz I don't want to live like this
Without your kiss upon my lips
I feel like I just don't exist
I'll keep your secrets safe with me
I trust in you as equally
Don't doubt the bliss when feeling this
Emotion to reminisce

[Intro]
Instrumental

[Verse 1]
How do you sleep? Knowing the things you do to me?
Is it your job? Or is it your fantasy?
Living the dream, coming home to your family
Is it your wife? Does she even know about me?

Is this your life? Do I make you feel alive?
Is it my eyes? I hope to see you every night
Am I real? You never ask how do i feel

[Chorus]
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if i stayed, you would just kick me out

[Verse 2]
How do you sleep? Knowing the things you do to me?
Is it your job? Or is it your fantasy?
Livin' the dream, coming home to your family
Is it your wife? Does she even know about me?

[Chorus]
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if I stayed, you would just kick me out
Up, up, beat me down, go ahead and turn around
Even if i stayed, you would just-
