This song was written over chaotic telephone conversations and later a rehearsal, where it all came together. The electronic elements in the song were inspired from our electronic band influences.
lyrics
Making plans for getting old
As summer dreams are growing cold
The words you speak just confuse me
When everything you say
Tells me to be something I’m not
But every road before me sings
Take your best shot
Oh! I'm breaking, I’m breaking
Can you see, you’re taking?!
And when our hearts start beating loud
As all the city lights bring a crowd
And all the people jump up and shout
They scream: “we'll run this town!”
Something calls my name
I hear it quite clearly
But I don’t know what to see
Or who I’m supposed to be
When everything you say
Tells me to be something I’m not
But every road before me sings
Take your best shot
Oh! I'm breaking, I’m breaking
Can you see, you’re taking?!
And when our hearts start beating loud
As all the city lights bring a crowd
And all the people jump up and shout
They scream: “we'll run this town!”
My thoughts spilling over, -an anxiety attack
Can you feel the pressure? -there's no more turning back
Gotta stay stronger, gotta stay on my feet!
We've got the whole world to show
And the whole world to beat
Oh! I'm breaking, I’m breaking
Can you see, you’re taking
All the things that have saved me
And when our hearts start beating loud
As all the city light bring a crowd
All the people jump up and shout
We scream: we'll run this-
And when our hearts start beating loud
As all the city light bring a crowd
All the people jump up and shout
We scream: “we'll run this town!”
