Nighthawk follows the idea of running away from a broken home, or a situation where the narrator no longer feels comfortable in. The choruses encapsulate the idea of owning your own life and making meaningful decisions.
[Intro]
I felt like running away
Now I'm all up in my place, like
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
(Hey!)
Guess a way out
(Hey!)
Guess a way out
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
(Hey!)
Guess a way out
(Hey!)
Guess a way out
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
Since the beginning
We all guess a way out
[Verse 1]
Our vision is strong
We want a couple bags of money
A couple honeys, a magic feeling
Our vision is strong, ooh
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
I wanted you
[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta run with better days
(I wanted you)
I gotta feel like I'm in my place
(I needed you)
How do you feel when nothing is real?
(I feel I can't forget)
Holding on, never do it again
Tell me what am I to do to fit in?
[Chorus]
Get up into the moment
Step up, make it your own
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
(Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out
Hey!
Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out, out, out
Guess a way out)
[Verse 2]
I felt like running away
Now I'm all up in my place
I drank up all my feelings
So I'm feeling the better days
Lost in the crowd
But I'm ready for it now
I'm feeling steady 'bout it now
I feel my face lift
I'm on my way!
Arf!
[Chorus]
Get up into the moment
Step up, make it your own
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get up into the moment
Step up, make it your own
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
[Bridge]
I wanted to see the way you fly
I wanted the chance to make you cry
But everything in my head is all frozen
Floating solely
Tell me what you are to do to fit in?
[Breakdown]
Yeah, ugh
I've been away, I'm gone
(Brrrrrrrr-ah, let's go)
Do I know what path I'm on?
(Let's get it going right right now)
I've been away
So let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn my heart
[Chorus]
Get up into the moment
Step up, make it your own
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get up into the moment
Step up, make it your own
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Get, get in it
Get, get, get in it
Let's go
