[Intro]
Now this is all me
Now this is all me
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
[Verse 1]
Watch out for late phone calls
Wheat paste and concrete walls
Go too far, live too long
Time’s too short, right and wrong
Block after block (Yeah)
Block after block
Roll down gates, look the same
Different trips, different trains
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey friends, break in the back door
And turn it up
While the lights are out
Eyes closed and shouting right now
[Chorus]
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Eat when you’re hungry and
Sleep when you’re slipping like
Tired dogs rest their paws
Today we show our flaws
Block after block (Yeah)
Block after block
It’s one way, now on Wythe
What was left now is right
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey friends, we’ll jump the turnstiles
And cut it down
While the lights are out
Eyes closed and shouting right now
[Chorus]
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
[Bridge]
I think it takes a pile of bricks
For us to make a home
And I’m not sure but I hear
Mountains grow from just a stone
Block after block (Yeah)
Block after block
Everything I’ve learned
Every step I took and street I’ve walked
[Outro]
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
Lights turn on
And dark turns up
Side by side
Dream bigger
Next in line (Yeah)
It’s late
Now this is all me
Now this is all me (Yeah)
