I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
Talk to me
There's nothing that can't be fixed with some honesty
And how it got this dark is just beyond to me
If anyone can hear me, switch the lights, oh, oh
And happiness
Is right there where you lost it when you took the bet
Counting all the losses that you can't collect
Get everything and nothing in my life
I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
Take yourself home
Who you really tryna be when they see your face?
Is it worth it tryna win in a losing game?
Well, it's all waiting for you
And boy, I know you're eager
But it just might destroy you
Destroy you, yeah
I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
Take yourself home
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take yourself home
Home, oh
Yeah, ah-ah
Yeah, ah-ah
