​cornerstore

[Verse 1]
Hoping, praying, wishing on a shooting star
That shoots up high to come back down and shoot me far
So no one figures where we are
I figure if I drove my car just long enough
That I might take it to the stars
I figure this is figurative, a fever dream
That's got me in a pretzel, I mean figurative
Not literally twisted, just how I feel sometimes
That's how I feel sometimes, that's how I feel sometimes

[Verse 2]
Biking past the cornerstore, there's robbers all the time
Don't stop too long, 'cause they might
Trade a couple dollars for your life
Never seen a dead body of one I knew, but I seen John Doe
Swarmed in by the po', in the middle of the road
Granny died, and I feel guilty, 'cause I never said goodbye
When I seen her last, she looked at me and asked "Who is this guy?"
I smiled and said your grandson, left with tears all in my eyes
Death is all too real to me, I wish my granny still alive

[Bridge]
I'm gon' be leaving real soon, I just can't hold it
My day is coming, and yes, of course I know it
Sitting at the cornerstore bumping my music
Life is way too short, I hope that you don't lose it

[Verse 3]
Pray for me every day of the week
Things I seen haunting my sleep
Weak now, got the shakiest knees, this ain't a dream
Keep a close eye out, there's lions around
They getting ready to pounce on you now
You gotta go to the cornerstore when it's still bright out
'Cause they might just gunning you down

[Outro]
Faith ain't really been the same since I took a few liberties
Those liberties that's really not the biggest sort of friend to me
I'm frantically backtracking just to see where I went wrong
And I can't kneel today so I'll just put my prayer in this song
The voice of God above should tame me, maybe make me
To a better man, a better plan, I'm down to hear it
Whispered words so sweetening, I'm keeping in my feelings
At the cornerstore 'til evening, but He can end my storms
He can keep me warm
