Dreamin' I could Dreamin' I could Dreamin' I could fly Started off from the bottom If only they could see me now Hit the strip with a dream Put in work, put in hours Till they see me now they're screaming out But I knew things that I didn't want to It's all good tryin' to fit in and be cool But what happens when they don't want you Who's there for you when you're famous When your names in the pages Headlines, newspapers That was never what I did it for Mom and pop came from simple lives Knew they had it difficult I'm sick of all this silicone Lives that I'm seeing' so it's time to go & switch the role As a kid in the streets I would lay As I looked to the sky feelin' meek I would pray Sat next to my brother in the heat o the day I would speak I would say As I'd reach for the clouds: I'ma be there one day Just wait See you don't really know what it's like When the system's against As you sit on the ends and your stomach is thin With no funds for the rent While the rich they just win And they spend and they spend It just doesn't make sense What's for dinner Only bread? guess it's syrup again Damn But I know I'ma get em back I went and picked a different path Now it's time to hit the craft Gassed up But I'ma get the last laugh Got wings but I've never been plane And I'm learning all these letters I've been editing the names My English teacher said that I'll never be the same As I'm earning' all my credits I'ma step up to the plate Just wait Gaugin' the view I take off like a test flight Guns cocked, pits that I skip Got cops on my tail but I'm flying when I check mics And if I don't get it now I'ma get it in that next life Got that Hugo Pilot watch Now it's time to test heights But I'm dedicated, no options called I've set the stages to go rock the halls Let me paint this cadence that'll shock em all Wheels up Don't tell me when I'm coming' down Deals up This is how the broken sound Feel stuck Karma's never been around I'ma get another round Don't tell me when I'm coming down Still flying, I'm a pilot Kamikaze Still flying, I'm a pilot Kamikaze Still flying, I'm a pilot Kamikaze Still flying, I'm a pilot Kamikaze Another rejection, stressing I ain't get the question Why a critic gotta pick it for Never one to lie But I'm a lion If you push me forward I just wanna go but they telling me to slow Now the mission gettin' critical I went to Jeddah I got my papers I called in favours I'm getting anxious Feds on my cases Don't talk to strangers I'm sick of waiting I've grown impatient Need to hone my skills Tip the scales are bent on my field I feel like I still Need a moment to breathe I'm sick of doin' it for me Sick of countin' all these sheep I'ma go and take the leap I been writin' like a fiend So I take my soul higher I'ma set it all free Back into Bowie Last town Hit up the airport Last round Feel so much weight it's hard to take off I need a break there's no days off But it's whatever it takes To hit the lay off No more laying low The day of the show I'ma take the stage Like a playoff I get one shot I hope it pays off Alarm rings I'm feeling nervous That adrenalin is now calmly surging I brush my teeth like I'm filled with purpose I'ma be famous His will emerging My bands ready we drill the verses Hop in the wheel peel to the concourse Our kit is filled but still we're on course Carry my bags wait on these lines Look at the clock I'm ahead of the time Security check but there's nothin to hide I got what I need and it's all in my mind Name called That's my queue Take your seats you gon' really need a view Go and hand your ticket now get ready for the new I been steady head is ready now I'm heading' for the news Hands in the air I got cuts in this place My band holds it down as we rushin' the stage Someone screams out They can't stop us now Some bodies fall down it's a mosh pit sound I step forward out into the cockpit, wow I take control of my new office I cut the mic as I clock in This is it Im flying I'm a rockstar Thirty seconds to impact The world's my stage No looking back I take my turn and then I crash I hit the tower Full impact Consumed in fire as I laugh I'll be with virgins on my lap I hear the screams I'm here at last Call 911 The tower's collapsed Goodbye

I love the weather in september The air feels cold when it breezes through I want to feel the way I feel with you forever It could be this city or it could be you I can't help but stare into your eyes The slick city streets covered by rain I can't help but think if I lived in London that things wouldn't be the same I miss you and I'd hope you missed me too I can't help but wonder if you knew We're not getting any younger But the miles are getting longer Time isn't on our side, time isn't on our side We're not getting any younger But the miles are getting longer Time isn't on our side but it's something I'd hope we, could you Hand me a cider on primrose hill You say things to me I've never heard before Do you blame me for wanting to touch a little? Whenever I'm gone it just makes me want you more I can't help but think of that night in Shorditch The one where you kissed my cheek I can't help but remember how you grabbed my face and said goodnight to me I searched for meaning in our pride unseen I can't help but think that you knew Were not getting any younger But the miles are getting longer Time isn't on our side, time isn't on our side We're not getting any younger But the miles are getting longer Time isn't on our side but it's something id hope we could get through Oh, oh, oh As I walk here now Months have flown by I long for the nights when you made my cheeks turn rosy at the sight As I walk here now I haven't changed my mind I see the place where we first met and know we'll have our time We're not getting any younger Time isn't on our side No, no, no

Vodka soda and baggy jeans Using none of that art degree She's the type to just look at me Then write me off, write me off in a moment We're in a city full of strangers But I got faith and twenty bucks in my pocket So I said, "DJ, can you play her That one song that talks about chocolate?" Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh) And no lie, that's quite the compliment But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight (looking for somebody) I said "Girl, I might not be famous yet But I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh) Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 197- The 1975" I've been feeling a little sweet I got jokes, she don't show her teeth No, she's not losing a lick of sleep When she writes me off, breaks me down to my lowest But, in a city full of strangers (City full of strangers) It feels like something's up in the air tonight So I said, "DJ, can you play her That one song that talks about Caroline?" Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh) And no lie, that's quite the compliment But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight (looking for somebody) I said "Girl, I might not be famous yet But I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh) Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 197- The 1975" (But I got faith and twenty bucks in my pocket) (So I said, "DJ, can you play her) (That one song that talks about chocolate?") Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh) And no lie, that's quite the compliment But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight (looking for somebody) I said "Girl, I might not be famous yet But I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh) Then she said "I like your confidence but you're not The 197- The 1975" (So I said, "DJ, can you play her) (That one song that talks about Caroline?")
