[Chorus: Jake Luttrell]
The fire gets started and the weather gets warmer
But the flame doesn't last too long
'Cause the quiet gets louder, then the seasons get colder
Hope the pain doesn't feel too strong
The feeling gets older, old faces don't know you
Things have changed, where did I go wrong?
The rope gets tighter and my grip gets looser
Want to stay, but I can't keep holding on
And we just keep slippin' away, ayy
And we just keep slippin' away
[Verse: Nyck Caution]
Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say
Don't think all that much about tomorrow today
I know it's tough on this path, you feel like you're losing your way
But keep on pushing through it, every dog has its day
'Cause what I don't have in skill, I'll make up for with will
'Cause it's the size of the fight, not the size of the build
Put my life on a page, still have trouble with bills
Contemplating 'bout continuing still
'Cause what's the purpose of me going so hard to live a run of the mill
Ordinary life and being unfulfilled on this deal
Am I doing something wrong or am I in the wrong field?
Questions that could eat somebody alive, it's so real
I feel the lights when I'm under them, they flash and get under my skin
The only reason that I'm this deep in
Show the kids that I'm just like them
Show the kids that I'm just like them
[Chorus: Jake Luttrell]
The fire gets started and the weather gets warmer
But the flame doesn't last too long
'Cause the quiet gets louder, then the seasons get colder
Hope the pain doesn't feel too strong
The feeling gets older, old faces don't know you
Things have changed, where did I go wrong?
The rope gets tighter and my grip gets looser
Want to stay, but I can't keep holding on
And we just keep slippin' away, ayy
And we just keep slippin' away
And we just keep slippin' away, ayy
And we just keep slippin' away
[Outro: Nyck Caution]
Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say
Don't think all that much about tomorrow today
Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say
