Deadline Lyrics by Ballyhoo!

Do It for the Money!

2006

[Verse 1]
I know you're feeling like the noose is tight
This room around you's small and there's no light
You always feel you have to make things right
But please don't feel you have to lose this fight alone
On the run constantly all the time

[Chorus 1]
So far away I could've sworn that I was closer
And then I feel I'm running out of time
I lose control and then I know that it's all over
And nothing's ever gonna be just fine

[Verse 2]
I've taken on more than I planned
You shot me down, nowhere to land
I'm lost out here and left behind
I'm just looking for a sign
(I'm just looking for a sign)
I'm just looking for a sign

[Chorus 1]
So far away I could've sworn that I was closer
And then I feel I'm running out of time
I lose control and then I know that it's all over
And nothing's ever gonna be just fine

[Instrumental breakdown]

[Chorus 2]
So far away I could've sworn that I was closer
And then I feel I'm running out of time
I take control and it's not over 'till it's over
And everything is gonna be just fine
