Lyrics: Michael Hynes
Music: Michael Hynes/Julian Huisel
I keep a contract in the back of the car
just in case somebody really wants to make me a star
I get in contact with celebrities
drop a demo with that manager that they'll never see
I guess it's our time I accept the right time
it's never something that I will find
or you're just being too polite to
tell me that this isn't for me
leave a message saying that you're proud of me
you always thought I was a nobody
I'm trying my shoelaces and I wanna see your faces singing
one before I die
don't don't pull that color turn me down
wish that you could see me now
dreaming one before I die
you already know
this is not where I thought I would be
can't even sell 100 in my ticket set free
just gotta hold on until something breaks
keep on smiling at the rain and never make a mistake
it gets old when no one gets the joke
that you already know but you build that s**t up anyway
leave a message saying that you're proud of me
you always thought I was a nobody
I'm trying my shoelaces and I wanna see your faces
one before I die
don't don't pull that color turn me down
wish that you could see me now
singing one before I die
you already know
so many things that I have overcome
oh I wanna see my name in lights just once
oh do you think that it's impossible impossible
cause I don't think that it ever was
