Lyrics

[intro]
And I asked you for some patience
And I asked you for some grace
And I asked you for your gentle hands
And I asked you for a trace
By the morning, we'll be wiser
And our hearts might realign
'Cause I'll be chasing all the echoes
And you'll be right there by my side
Verse]
All this pressure been stacking, rising more each year (rise up)
In the mirror, reflections of battles, scars, and smears (see it)
Had to duck and weave through life's punches, it's clear (duck it)
Sometimes winning’s about standing, even in fear (stand tall)

Running streets like marathons, with dreams in our backpacks (run it)
Skipping hurdles, we gambled on life like it's blackjack (gamble)
Me and my kin, racing through the night, we own the moonlight (own it)
Dodging shadows, in a Porsche, feeling just right (skrrt skrrt)

Got just one life, but feels like nine, counting each escape (count 'em)
Every near miss with fate, every close scrape (close)
Pushing limits like we're testing fate, can't hit the brakes (no brakes)
Every lesson learned is a chance to reshape (reshape)
[verse]
Come on, faded heart, hold through the storm
Sprinkle some dreams, we'll pretend to conform
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Watching shadows play on walls, dimmed by the norm
Tell my soul to brave it all
Sever these fears, just before I sprawl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
In the silence, find the courage to stand tall

Chorus:
And I asked you for some patience
And I asked you for some grace
And I asked you for your gentle hands
And I asked you for a trace
By the morning, we'll be wiser
And our hearts might realign
'Cause I'll be chasing all the echoes
And you'll be right there by my side
[Verse 2]
Dropped a fortune on fits, all they see is the surface (flashy)
Hundreds on kicks, but it’s the path I walk that's deepest (deep)
Clearing my skin but clearing my path takes the keenest (focus)
No line for me, I manifest, I'm in the zenith (on top)

Lonely at the peak, but the view keeps me grounded (look down)
Every sigh of relief, every fear surmounted (overcome)
I strategize like a general, moves are calculated (chess moves)
No impulsive reactions, everything's evaluated (think twice)

Stack weights on life's bar, I lift it with ease (lift it)
Others just squeeze their fists, while I seize (seize)
Flipping the script, I breeze through seasons (flip it)
They doubted my rise, now I'm the reason (the reason)
[Verse 2]
Come on, faded heart, what’s left to fear?
Drink in the hope, soft and sheer
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Heavy is the breath, slow and unclear
And I asked you for some patience
And I asked you for some grace
And I asked you for your steady voice
And I asked you for some space

[Bridge]
Now when all our love is fading
What then shall we say?
As we're standing by the ruins
Of what never could stay
Who will hold us?
Who will stay?
Who will watch as we drift away?
[outro]
And I asked you for some patience
And I asked you for some grace
And I asked you for your gentle hands
And I asked you for a trace
By the morning, we'll be wiser
And our hearts might realign
'Cause I'll be chasing all the echoes
And you'll be right there by my side
