Just to sleep on the floor bеside my bed

Steady my breath, I try to be cool

If I never say a word, does it make it less true?

I feel the time go, I fear the unknown

While you laugh with somebody that you met on your phone

Little kids grow, it's getting so old

I think I gotta go, yeah I think I gotta go
