Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up 6:45

Can't breathe, my brain's on fire

It's an everyday situation

Rush out the door again

How will this ever end?

Don't wanna cry at the station

[Verse 2]

And everybody walks by

With this look in their eye

And their head turned to the ground

Like they don't wanna do this

No one wants to do this

Everybody's losing

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

It's how it gotta be

I wish it wasn't true

But nothing comes for free

Wanna make a change

Find a lil peace

I'll look out for you

If you look out for me

[Verse 3]

Phone's on do not disturb

If you don't talk, how can you be heard?

All we want is communication

But everybody keeps on

Like there's nothing wrong

Keep on pushing it further down

Man, I don't wanna do this

No one wants to do this

Everybody's losing

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

It's how it gotta be

I wish it wasn't true

But nothing comes for free

Wanna make a change

Find a lil peace

I'll look out for you

If you look out for me

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

It's how it gotta be

I wish it wasn't true

But nothing comes for free

I wanna make a change

Find a lil peace

I'll look out for you

If you look out for me

[Outro]

Wanna find a lil peace
