Heat

Oh, I can't wait to escape the heat This pavement burns underneath my feet After growing up in these streets There's oceans and my heavenly dreams I see Oh, I would ditch the valley so fast Some guy said "the past stays in the past" After work, there's a check to cash When I fulfill my future forecast It's burning, and I can't take it Tired of little white lies that I'm faking All of my life feels so mistaken But it'll hurt leaving The heat, baby, I'm crossing a line The taste of victory is so sweet Making a change this time Maybe just not in the heat Oh, I miss old friends every day It comes and goes in drunk tidal waves But what is there even to say now? Leave past emotions in the ash tray Cause I've been playing shit in my head Didn't know why, couldn't comprehend I'm glad I never even said You should live your life until you're dead I feel like life's moving so fast Sand is falling through the hour glass But I know I'm more than up to the task It's been real, but goodbye to The heat, baby, I'm crossing a line The taste of victory is so sweet Making a change this time Maybe just not in the heat Though I love this dirt stricken valley I don't feel I belong in the heat
