lyrics

Switch Lanes

Verse 1
Hey, I see you over there
Living without a care
I wish that I could be like you

Do you feel ever the same
Wishing you could just
switch lanes?

I wanna break this flow
i’ll take it real slow
I’m gonna take control
you will see

there’s a place in the unknown
where my mind runs free
somewhere that we can go
beyond everything we see

Verse 2
Wake up to the sound of an alarm clock
Try to hit the snooze button but it won't stop
Ears keep ringing as I listen to the sound
Of my phone telling me that the time is now

I I I, I gotta go get a move on
Get dressed, put my shoes on
Stressed, but I gotta be strong
Eyelids heavy, struggling to leave bed
Thoughts running through my head like

Is today gonna be the day that things change?
or will it all stay the same?

So tired of this never ending cycle
Daydreaming of the things that I would like to
do with my time, but I’m lost in the cost of a dime
At a desk, stressed hoping that I’ll be next in line
and I wonder, will I be here forever?
And I wonder, will it ever get better?

Chorus
Hey, I see you over there
Living without a care
I wish that I could be like you

Do you ever feel the same
Wishing you could just switch lanes?

Verse 3
I’ve got a lot on my mind
I’m so scared of the feeling that I’ll run out of time
because I’m trying to be
free enough to take flight and grab a hold of my dreams

I downright refuse, to be forced to choose
to keep living a life, when I’ve got so much to lose
I was meant for more, I wasn’t built for this
I was meant for more, I can’t call it quits

I've worked too hard to let this go
And now I know, that sometimes you gotta be brave
To save, everything you worked so hard to grow
You have to show you're strong enough to lead the way

Don't follow your dreams, just make them
Put your pride to the side and just take them
Trying to switch lanes not knowing where it takes me
Desperate for change so I'm hitting the escape key

Bridge/Interlude
When it feels like everyone is trying, to slow you down
When you feeling sick and tired and you're feeling uninspired all you gotta do is
When in need of help, just believe and yourself and just
Put the pedal to the metal and get on another level, you just gotta go and switch lanes

Chorus
Hey, I see you over there
Living without a care
I wish that I could be like you

Do you ever feel the same
Wishing you could just switch lanes?
