lyrics

Gotta Go

Verse 1

I’m looking out the window of a train
analysing my reflection and the way that it has changed
and it’s clear I’m not the same as the person that I once was
looking back to the place that I had come from

I say thanks for the lessons that had brought me here
even though the future is not clear
I often wonder what the universe is keeping in store
Does it acknowledge my plans or does it keep them ignored?

I’m not waiting for the day that I’ll be number one
Truth be told, I know that day will probably never come
so while the sun is up, I’m walking in a different lane
that aspires to achieve what truly cannot be explained

because I know that there’s a lot that I still have to do
and it’s truly up to me to see it through
If you’re searching for direction I am in the same position
come and listen while I tell you how it is
go and sing it like

Chorus
I don’t want to wait
another moment for the day
that I will say it’s just too late

So I’ve gotta go
I’ve gotta go

Verse 2
It’s been a long time since I felt like this
Contemplating my future and the life that I live
Thinking one day, I can confidently say
that I’ve come a long way, from the days I would create

these songs in my bedroom (songs in my bedroom)

Thinking I should go to bed soon (I should go to bed soon)

because I gotta wake up early so I do not miss my train
I wish I didn’t need to, but I need to get paid

Because my wallet gets lighter as my bills stack up
but I know that I’m a fighter, though my skills still suck
I’ve spent a long time feeling down on my luck
but that’s all about to change, everything is looking up

Got a fresh new perspective on the world I see
Feeling positive, knowing it was made for me
Both hands on the wheel, in control of my fate
so I gotta go, because I know my destiny awaits
