[Intro]
Song in a—
Song in a— (Hm-hm-hm)
Song in a—
Song in a—
[Verse 1]
Was I colder when the season changed?
Wish I answered when you knew my name
Could have opened up my door to spring
But now, I'm just
I'm runnin' with nowhere to go
I'm ravin' with the lights on
I'm right here, but I've lost control
I'm tearin' down the outside
I'm runnin' with nowhere to go
I'm ravin' with the lights on
I'm hurtin', but I've got it all
But, oh, well, I lost all that I found inside of you
[Pre-Chorus]
I stand out there, where it always came alive
Wastin' pennies in the night
Waitin' up till it was light
[Chorus]
Don't work hard just to spend it
Keep your money, it's not only for the weekend
I got a ticket for a placе you hadn't been yet
You only went one way and nеver came back
Don't work hard just to spend it
Keep your money, it's not only for the weekend
You keep me waitin' for a minute, I can take that
I was young enough to think that you would come back
[Refrain]
Song in a— (Hm-hm-hm)
Song in a—
Song in a— (Ah-ah, hm-hm-hm)
Song in a—
[Verse 2]
I trusted, but you lied to me
I acted more than I could be
Who would want to hurt me?
I'm still here 'cause you're in control
[Pre-Chorus]
I stand out there, where it always came alive
Wastin' pennies in the night
Waitin' up till it was light
[Chorus]
Don't work hard just to spend it
Keep your money, it's not only for the weekend
I got a ticket for a place you hadn't been yet
You only went one way and never came back
Don't work hard just to spend it
Keep your money, it's not only for the weekend
You keep me waitin' for a minute, I can take that
I was young enough to think that you would come back
[Refrain]
Song in a— (Hm-hm-hm)
Song in a—
Song in a— (Hm-hm-hm)
Song in a— (Hm-hm-hm)
Song in a—
[Outro]
You love it, I don't even wanna say somethin'
But you opened up and now I want to try lovin'
Before you, she wasn't tryna save nothin'
Then you opened up and now she wanna try be a queen
She hasn't seen, loves entirely, only seventeen
Got her locked, got her lost, now she's on her knees
Holdin' on to the softest discrepancies, seventeen
Heaven's dreams and all they mean
I found my love in a trapped world
You found this light in my last word
You heard this song in a trapped world
Song in a trapped world, song in a trapped world
Song in a trapped world, song in a trapped world
Love in a trapped world, love, better turn it up
Song in a trapped world, song in a trapped world
Song in a trapped world, love in a trapped world
(Love in a trapped world, love in a trapped world)
(Love in a trapped world, love—)
