Back It Up

Waking from a daydream

Just the same as I was before

More money, more fame, more problems

But I wish I had a little bit more

Watching on my TV screen

Already writing down in my head

My acceptance speech is gonna sound so sweet

If I can get myself out of this bed

I'm tired of living like I'm always scared of trying

Can't miss what you don't take

I'm tired of waiting, faking, always hesitating

Praying on something to change

Because over and over and over again

I talk a big game, baby you know what?

It's time to back it up

Waking from a daydream

Just the same as I was before

While everyone around me is fighting

With their nose down to the floor

Sitting here and acting like

It's gonna fall right in my lap

But for the 15th time I'm just the next in line

Cause the Academy don't work like that

I'm tired of living like I'm always scared of trying

Can't miss what you don't take

I'm tired of waiting, faking, always hesitating

Praying on something to change

Because over and over and over again

I talk a big game, baby you know what?

It's time to back it up
