Lyrics

Here was a kid who lived in a box
Stuck in between a win and a loss
He made up his mind, he wanted to rock
He sweat 'til he bled, the city was hot
Off of the page, he wrote in his head
Awfully strange, the things that he said
No time to waste, he's rotting in bed
But all through his pain, he was laughing instead
Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven PM
He's pumping to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
Until he sees the stars
Twelve, one, two, three, four AM
And when the night's over he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
'Til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause
Here was a kid who lived by the weed
Who lay wide awake but slept on his feet
He put on a show, his stage was the street
He walked like a dog, the city would see
Off of the page, he wrote in his head
Awfully strange, the things that he said
No time to waste, he's rotting in bed
But all through his rage, he was laughing instead
Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven PM
He's pumping to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
Until he sees the stars
Twelve, one, two, three, four AM
And when the night's over he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
'Til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause
Can't find out from someone else
The moves you make don't move themselves
You can't have everything tomorrow
No, no, no
So when you wake up with the shakes
And hold your breath for your big break
Think you finally lost your place
It's just waiting for you
Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven PM
He's pumping to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
Until he sees the stars
Twelve, one, two, three, four AM
And when the night's over he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
He's just a lost cause
Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven PM
He's pumping to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
Until he sees the stars
Twelve, one, two, three, four AM
And when the night's over he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
'Til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause
Lost cause
Lost cause, lost cause
Lost cause, that boy's a lost cause
Lost cause, lost cause
Lost cause, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lost cause, lost cause
Lost cause
