We just go through the motions,
Pretend to keep the peace,
We could win every award acting in our make-believe,
I thought I’d die when you left me,
I was sure we were meant to be,
I would have held on forever to nothing,
But when you left I got to be free.

I wanna thank you,
For closing the door,
I wanna thank you,
I'm loving me more,
Thank you, thank you.

Your zodiac told you it’s the time to retreat,
Though I don't usually care what the stars say,
This time I have to agree,
Mother Time is a healer but I don't need her today,
I got the antidote right here inside me,
Thank you for going away.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free for setting me free.

What do I wanna do?
What do I wanna say?
Where do I wanna go?
I'll do it today.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free,
I wanna thank you, for letting me be.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you.

Hey now, Alright, Hey hey now, C'mon,
Get to it.


Runnin' scared,Taken for a ride (hey now),So unprepared,Limit to your life (c'mon now, alright),
Fugitive, I need a place to hide (hey now),Ruining',
The soul that's left inside (alright, alright).
Done some deep dark things in my life,Town to town I don't care,Have to help myself try to fly right,need that breath of fresh air,And I boast the most on the daily,Talkin' sweet just to pay,Coast to coast never failing,Griftin' every day.
Yeah, I can take you for a ride,
On the dirty money highway,Can make it far and wide,Now it's time, To make my day.
Tell, Me, I ain't no smokin' gun,
Help, Me, I'm always on the run.
On the lam, And takin' my sweet time,Best to scram, No stoppin' on a dime.
I'm on the run.
Done some deep dark things in my life,Town to town I don't care,Have to help myself try to fly right,need that breath of fresh air,And I boast the most on the daily,Talkin' sweet just to pay,Coast to coast never failing,Griftin' until you.

I move real vicious,
On a Saturday night,
She gimme three wishes,
That’s the kinda girl I like,

Put your phone down,

And you'll feel alright,

Sky’s the limit,
Yeah she takes me high.


Alright, okay, any time of day,
Alright, okay, don't wish your time away,
Said yeah oh yeah, getting hotter in here,
Have you dance all night ‘til your morning prayer,
Alright, okay, any time of day,
Alright, okay,hear the words I say,Said yeah oh yeah,
all the people in here,Have you dance all night ‘til your morning prayer.
I’ma show how,
You'll be kicking the blues yeah,Bring the band along,
Play your favourite tune now,Lemme you help you out,
Have you kick those blues yeah,I bring the band along,
They’ll be kicking it too.From second I arrive on set,
Turn their heads Lickedy split,
Don't need no new regret,Like to thank you for the thanks I get,
In the mirror, in the mood that’s me,On the screen, on the scene that’s me,I can tell you ‘bout the life I lead,Don't got nowhere better to be.

When the jig is up,When the ace is drawn,When the sky’s ablaze,We gonna get along,
In Cadillac,
In a crown of thorns,I'll been waiting up,Just gimme the call.
Don’t wait all night,
Don’t wait all night,
Don’t wait all night,
I'm dying to prove you right,
Don’t wait all night,
Gonna set your soul alight,Don’t wait all night,
I'm dying to prove you right.
Paying for a past life, yeah,You know that it’s true,When the feeling hits you,Running from my old life, yeah,
Before I was keeping you by my side,Well let’s take a ride,
When the time is up,And they ring the bell,All your well-wishing,Done served me well.
Spent 90 days,Here in this cell,
Not much to say,‘Bout heaven and hell,‘Bout heaven and hell.
Don’t wait all night,Don’t wait all night,
Don’t wait all night,
I'm dying to prove you right,
Don’t wait all night,
Gonna set your soul alight,
Don’t wait all night,
I'm dying to prove you right.Does it ever make you wonder,Kinda spell they keep you under,Hear you calling loud as thunder.
Paying for a past life, yeah,You know that it’s true,When the feeling hits you,Running from my old life, yeah,Before I could keep you by my side,Well let’s take a ride.

Inhibitions,No way through,Truly a mission,Stayin' honest and true.
Shot to the temple,Might be extreme,Major epiphany,As you wake from the dream.
Wildfire, Burn through me,Phoenix risin', No guarantee.
Take it or leave it,Whether clever or dumb,The change that I've needed,Till kingdom come.
I'm still here,And baby I'm shinin',Waste no tears,'Cause I'm realigning',
I'm goin nowhere,Yeah I'm alive and,No stoppin' me,You know that I'm thrivin'.
I'm still here, I'm still here, Never fear, never fear.
Mildly conceited,Pride in the name.
Focused on me now,No longer money or fame.
Most of my life,I been chasin' the dough,It's time to let go.
I'm still here,Never fear, never fear,No im goin nowhere.Here we go.
I'm still here,And baby I'm shinin',Waste no tears,'Cause I'm realigning',I'm goin nowhere,
Yeah I'm alive and,No stoppin' me,You know I'm thrivin.
I'm still here,Ì ain't going nowhere,I'm still here,Never fear,
Oh cause i'm here.
