Daniel, I'm Not Gonna Make It. Go Ahead Without Me.

(álbum: Rub Some Dirt On It - 2022)

Daniel, I'm not gonna make it
Go ahead without me

The speakers filled with voices
Missed my turn, had to circle back again
I stopped and I looked at the distant cars there
Heading towards me they seemed so far away
So I let go of the break

Effortlessly, he passed through me
All of the world stopped as far as I could see

Hey kid, this isn't the movies
Hey kid, hey kid, you better run
But it sure felt like everyone was watching me
Oh no oh no, yeah yeah
The sound and lights aren't for everyone
You screwed it up again
Get out the kitchen if you can't stand the heat
Stand up, stand up, walk right now
Or you never will
Stand up, stand up, walk right now or you never will

It's like a mountain in the winter
You don't know if you'll return or return the same
No one's gonna swoop in and save the day

Let's get the story straight in your head
Slow your breathing stop your shaking hands
The body was never made for days like these
Not knowing if you are walking towards a dead man
Lying there with lives to end
And is this how it ends
On a side street, just asphalt and destinies colliding

Hey kid, this isn't the movies
Kid, hey kid, you better run
But it sure felt like everyone was watching me
Oh no oh no, yeah yeah
The sound and lights aren't for everyone
You screwed it up again
So get out the kitchen if you can't stand the heat
Stand up, stand up and walk right now
Or you never will

I saw the men, running towards him
I saw the blue light
I don't think I was breathing
I never wanted more to run from a fight

It was the wrong time

I swear I'll fix this
It was a wrong turn
I swear this will all work out
It was the wrong time
