It's a strange thing in life
When you're chasing your dreams
And it's not what it seems
And your heart is on the line
And now we want to be the one fade in

Am I out of my mind?
Do I got it all wrong
Though I have what I want
But I try to make it right
I've never wanted to be the one waiting

She said Jake you're a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown
Would you just go home
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

Too little too late
I don't think I'm gonna stay
I don't think you gonna change
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

But I can't slow down now
The light just went down, down

There's a cost, there's a price
Yeah you're really feel the fall out
Ripping your heart out
Night after night
When all you ever wanted was some home time

I'm not thinking sober
I don't think it's over
I can't lie
But I can use a little bit of lone time

She said Jake you're a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown
Would you just go home
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

Too little too late
I don't think I'm gonna stay
I don't think you gonna change
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

But I can't slow down now
The light just went down, down
Baby hold on somehow
'Cause I can't slow down now
No I can't slow down now

I'm not thinking sober
I don't think it's over
I can't lie
I could use a little bit of home time

She said Jake you're a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown
Would you just go home
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

Too little too late
I don't think I'm gonna stay
I don't think you gonna change
I'm so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can't help you anymore
You're going faster than me

But I can't slow down now
The light just went down, down
Baby hold on somehow
'Cause I can't slow down now
No I can't slow down now
