Lyrics

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

It’s a blessing, alright
Living stress in a life
It’s a mess that i right
Wanna rest for the night
But the clock just laughs up in my face
Run against myself to win a race
My demons give my lip a taste
Wonder if it all end up a waste
And I know when I’m feeling insecure
Head first when i break another door
Bumped my head some time ago, I’m sure
Can’t pick me up like I’m the floor
Transparent seas, I’ve seen before
Each wave like a diamond and its pure
Storm come and it crashing me to shore
Please miss can I have a little more?
But the clocks like

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

Exhaust the feel, Trying to be so real
Make a mess try and hide, conceal
Scarred up, how the fuck I heal
Been some years, but it’s up from here
Find a fear? when I’m trying sincere
Can’t ya hear? the buzz in my ear
Somethings gone that always keeps me on
Last sip when I’m at the pond
Never think i maybe i stay too long
Even gone are of my friends of long
Miss when all was just sing alongs
Loved em all, wish we'd got along
Wish the good time kept going on
But the play must play, show is on
Advice to me is always “write a song”
But that don’t stop my clock going on, gone

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

Where’d we go?
Been a while I know (and the clock like)
What if i don’t show
Maybe i don’t know (and the clock like)
Where’d we go?
Been a while I know
Where, did
We, we
Go

I'm at the stop light
