Living My Way

Most nights I just don't wanna go home
Super charged after bars close even if I'm all alone
And I'm restless most of my days
I gotta get out and get something for those memoir pages
So I'll be risky, reckless for a minute
Never thought the sky was my limit
I'll fold you up to put in the pages of my stories told
I'm talkin' bout long nights down by the beaches
Tequila shots will always teach us
How to sway
Start living my way
Or maybe we could go to Vegas
I know a Greyhound bus could take us
So what do you say
Start living my way
La-La-La's
Turn the page, what's next for today
On my lunch break all I wanna do is plan our great escape
But all you can think of are your bills to pay
Well honey, you better forget it
Cause I got two plane tickets
So let's get risky, reckless for a minute
Never thought the sky was my limit
Before you know it
We'll be singin' all our "Why didn't I's"
I'm talkin' bout long nights down by the beaches
Tequila shots will always teach us
How to sway
Start living my way
Or maybe we could go to Vegas
I know a Greyhound bus could take us
So what do you say
Start living my way
La-La-La's
Sometimes I just don't get it
A foot from the target, I still can't hit it
Hit the wall and still I give my all
And sometimes I overlook it
Got a full count and I strike out lookin'
Two down, bases loaded, I withdraw
Then I remember our long nights down by the beaches
Tequila shots will always teach us
How to sway
Start living my way
Or maybe we could go to Vegas
I know a Greyhound bus could take us
So what do you say
Start living my way
La-La-La's

Shots for Me and You

So you wanna make it to the top?
You want the key to unlock
The doors and the windows
That are holding back your inner soul
You're paddling into the ocean
The wind in opposite motion
But it's not a real victory if it's easy and free.
So when you called me up the other day
Said you wanted to go out and play
You wanna go drinkin'
I know what your thinkin'
Stop. Right. Now.
We'll leave our worries behind
We'll work it out while we're standing in the bar line
So let's have a shot for my mom
A shot for my dad
A shot for the brother I never had
Cheers to the kids going with the flow
Cheers to letting go
A shot for the guy who fixed my flat tire
A shot for our poor sober driver
Cheers to the company we keep
Cheers to living free
A shot for the bartender he needs it too
Shots for me and you, yeah
Here's to all our dreams coming true
Now it's kinda hard to stand straight
When you're getting so shit-faced
But I know come Monday
We'll be back into the rat race
So I'm dancing up a big commotion
Tomorrow I'll need Ibuprofen.
But tonight Patron's just fine
If you chase it with a little lime
Stop. Right. Now.
We'll leave our worries behind
My only vow is to get out of my mind
So let's have a shot for my mom
A shot for my dad
A shot for the brother I never had
Cheers to the kids going with the flow
Cheers to letting go
A shot for the guy who fixed my flat tire
A shot for our poor sober driver
Cheers to the company we keep
Cheers to living free
A shot for the bartender he needs it too
'Cause everyone rocks and some just roll
And the amateurs are going home
I'm just trying to keep myself under control
Tomorrow will come but tonight won't wait
And we don't have room for the light-weights
The room is swaying now
I don't remember your name
So let's have a shot for my mom
A shot for my dad
A shot for the brother I never had
Cheers to the kids going with the flow
Cheers to letting go
A shot for the guy who fixed my flat tire
A shot for our poor sober driver
Cheers to the company we keep
Cheers to living free
A shot for the bartender he needs it too
And shots for me and you, yeah
Here's to all our dreams coming true

Oh when the full moon rises and you get excited
All the world is singing like they can't even fight it
Behold the mystery, oh the mystery
And when the man starts saying that we'll be invited
I can't help but think of all the glitter and lights and
The critics are whispering, we'll make history
Shoop, the crowds are clappin'
Shoop, gonna make it happen
Because our life's about to start
No more playing in the dark
We play loud
Get high off the crowd
We're going to paradise
I can see it in your eyes
We play loud
If one goes down, we all go down
Now we're playing for keeps
Though those prices are steep
And it's bottles of Dom
A fancy car for my mom
Take a look at the stars
They're spelling out what's ours
Shoop, the crowds are clappin'
Shoop, gonna make it happen
Because our life's about to start
No more playing in the dark
We play loud
Get high off the crowd
We're going to paradise
I can see it in your eyes
We play loud
If one goes down, we all go down
Oh, Monaco
Oh, Monaco
Now when the full moon rises and you get excited
All the world is screaming 'cause they can't even fight it
Behold the mystery, we'll make history
Because our life's about to start
No more playing in the dark
We play loud
Get high off the crowd
We're going to paradise
I can see it in your eyes
We play loud
If one goes down, we all go down
Oh, Monaco
Oh, Monaco

Great Escape
03:23

I used to be afraid of you
Afraid of what you would do
Then I realized I was scared of me, too
Scared of what I wouldn't do or
Scared of what I couldn't do
But I owe nothing to the night
No more pressure, no more fight
A little less dark, a little more light
A little less bark, a little more bite
I'm faster than my fastest self (feet are on the ground)
Stacking on the cards I'm dealt (turning it around)
So trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
Now I'm up on the highest high
They're watching as I take flight
And it kinda feels nice to be getting things right
No more "what I wouldn't do" and
No more "what I couldn't do"
'Cause I owe nothing to today
All my pressure's gone away
A little less blame, a little less tame
A little less same, a little more change
Faster than my fastest self
Stacking on the cards I'm dealt
Trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
Faster than my fastest self
Quicker than you ever thought
Was possible and that's no lie
I'm waking up to see the light
So trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
