(chorus)
your head next to mine
your heart on my mind
there's nothing we can't be tonight
living life by starlight

ever since i was a young kid living in the burbs
moved here from california, missed my friends and the surf
spent a couple years depressed, I did not know which was worse
living like i was or dying alone, hit the dirt

so i hit the dirt with the soles of my feet
tires of my bike gave me food for my soul to eat
flying every night given wings by the books i used to read
fixed myself, gave me something i could keep

and damn, i was head over heels that summer
you and i, side by side one another
you and i, we were worthwhile lovers
your backyard every night, staring at the stars above us

on your trampoline where nobody could see us
dreaming of a day when a cap and gown would free us
teenagers wishing that we just knew how to be us
but tonight, we're alive, just because

[chorus]

18, driving like i knew i couldnt die
on those long road trips alone, every single night
sing along to those songs that i know saved my life
swore to myself that one day the words on the radio would be mine

cause music's always been there for me every single time
i needed it, i'll always have it right by my side
my guitar in my hand, and i got home on my mind
put my pen to the paper and let the ink do the crying

i've been fighting my demons and everything that i've feared
it hasn't always been easy i've struggle all of these years
but these words are my shield, my pen's my sword and my spear
i might never reach the top but shit it's keeping me here

staying here isn't easy but i guess i'm sticking around
i guess it might just be worth it to keep my feet on the ground
there's been months where i lose hope, but it's always been found
i've tried to capture that feeling and now i'm writing it down

[chorus]

i live my life by the microphone
i write my words then i scream my poems
music behind the lines i write i rhyme these words together till i free my soul

i surprise y'all when i'm not a standard rapper
i'm a godiva in a hersheys wrapper
yeah my flow's not great, my lips are chapped, sure
but my words are from the heart you can be damn sure

i'm young, yeah, and i'm dumb, damn
and i fuck up most of my plans
but at the end of the day, i really need this, man
only music stops these shaking hands

this notebook is my only friend on the
days i cannot see the end of this
road i'm on, the fordham one, with the
setting sun up in my eyes, i'm gone

[chorus]

and now im alone again
i know im not my only friend
we're here until the end
and we're not broken, just bent
