[Verse 1]
Awake at 3am
I'm missing home again
Is this the life that I had planned?
Doesn't matter what I've done
Or how many things I've won
'Cause in the end I'd feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights go down
And they call last round
I hope I lived, hope I loved
As much as I, I could of
Without rushing to the end
Stayed true to who I am
I hope that I played
[Chorus]
Hope that I played my favourite song
While dancing all night long
And laughed until I cried with my friends
'Cause when this story ends
It's easy to forget just how to play
So I'm just going to play
[Verse 2]
I'll play my symphony
Won't judge the mеlody
As long as it strikes a chord for me
My mum and dad, they told mе
Regret will kill you slowly
Don't let it catch you in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights go down
And they call last round
Hope I lived, hope I loved
As much as I, I could of
Without rushing to the end
Stayed true to who I am
I hope that I play
[Chorus]
I hope that I played my favourite song
While dancing all night long
And laughed until I cried with my friends
'Cause when this story ends
It's easy to forget just how to play
So I'm just going to play
When the lights go down
And they call last round
I hope that I play, play, play
Just go and play
