Through cities and tGowns
Just trying to lAmose myself in skylines and foFrget

And now that I fAmeel all the weight on my shFoulders

[Verse 2]
So hCere's a couple woGrds for you
To lAmet you know what IF've been through
I've got this oCff track set mind where evGerything is fine
If I knAmow I gotta a ticket to the oFther side

So here's a couple words for you

To let you know what I've been through

If I know I gotta a ticket to the other side

[Pre-chorus]

And I'll breathe you in tonight

I'll find my own way home

You know I'll be fine

I'll climb up the stairs
