Down On My Luck

Oh oh oh oooohhh
(Verse 1)
Well, I wake up every mornin', sun barely risin',
Got a clock on the wall that feels like it’s lyin',
Fruit’s rotting on the counter, bills stack like old friends,
Got dreams up on a shelf that I just can’t comprehend.
(Chorus)
I'm chasin' shadows, in a race I can't win,
With a heart full of hope, but a head full of sin,
Life's a clever trickster, playin' games with my mind,
I'm the last in the line, always fallin' behind.
(Verse 2)
See my buddy got a car, I’m still walkin’ on these streets,
He’s out there catchin’ sunsets, while I’m just countin’ beats,
Got a job that don’t pay, but hey, I’m still alive,
Just a little tired, but damn, I'm gonna strive.
(Chorus)
I'm chasin' shadows, in a race I can't win,
With a heart full of hope, but a head full of sin,
Life's a clever trickster, playin' games with my mind,
I'm the last in the line, always fallin' behind.
(Bridge)
But every mile I stumble, every scar that I wear,
Makes the sunrise brighter, like a breath of fresh air,
I may be runnin’ late, but I ain’t runnin’ scared,
‘Cause behind every misstep, there's a lesson declared.
(Chorus)
I'm chasin' shadows, in a race I can't win,
With a heart full of hope, but a head full of sin,
Life's a clever trickster, playin' games with my mind,
I'm the last in the line, always fallin' behind.
(Outro)
So I'll tip my cap to the dreams that fade,
And dance in the twilight of the choices I’ve made,
Yeah, I’m chasin' these shadows, but I’m learning to run,
In this wild game of life, I’ll find my own sun.
