​sidelines Lyrics by midwxst

2022

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Every day that I wake up, never feel like I'm enough
Told my friends that I'm okay, but at night I think that I suck
I just get into my head, and I never can escape
I can deal with all the rest, I just wish I wasn't dead

[Chorus]
I've been sitting on the sidelines
Need my playing time, tryna make a couple highlights
Hold it down for sure, in L.A. for fucking nine nights
Driving everywhere, getting blinded by the sunlight
Praying I don't wake up before sunrise (Sidelines)
Need my playing time, tryna make a couple highlights
Hold it down for surе, in L.A. for fucking nine nights
Driving everywhеre, getting blinded by the sunlight
Praying I don't wake up before sunrise

[Verse 2]
Say "I'm fine," 'cause that's my go-to line
My fucked up state of mind, can't break this paradigm
Can't seem to stand at attention, I'm cutting the tension
If I say it I meant it, I'm truly demented
In the way I think, the way I act
Went too far, I can't step back
Drown my sorrows with Cognac
Happy? Don't even say I'm that
In honesty, I'm fucking mad
'Cause I didn't think it'd get this bad
Now I'm riding solo, suffer by my dolo

[Chorus]
I've been sitting on the sidelines
One, two, three, let's go (Need my playing time, tryna make a couple highlights)
Hold it down for sure, in L.A. for fucking nine nights
Driving everywhere, getting blinded by the sunlight
Praying I don't wake up before sunrise (Sidelines)
Need my playing time, tryna make a couple highlights
Hold it down for sure, in L.A. for fucking nine nights
Driving everywhere, getting blinded by the sunlight
Praying I don't wake up before sunrise

[Outro]
Sidelines, need my playing time, tryna make a couple highlights
Hold it down for sure, in L.A. for fucking nine nights
Driving everywhere, I've been blinded by the sunlight
Praying I don't wake up before sunrise
