RUNNER-UP Lyrics by ​​sidenotes.

DESTROY EVERYTHING III

2020

[Intro]
Yeah, aye
Ah, yeah
Float away, away, away
Let my mind take to me to another place, away, away
Aye, yeah

[Verse]
Everyday moves
Falling through the roof
Sunnyside, coupe
I'mma stay in my room
I know you see wrong but I see through
You're looking for the proof
I been tryna tell you (I'm coming through)
And it's them dreams that I didn't wanna retract
Spent so much time and I'm never getting it back
I'm always trying to set and fill in the gaps
But I don't wanna relax
No, I don't wanna relax

[Chorus]
With you
'Cos I'mma hit the finish line
Been a RUNNER-UP for a minutes time
And it's true, back then when I didn't mind
I was young and numb
But now I'm getting mines without you
I'mma hit the finish line
Been a RUNNER-UP for a minutes time
And it's true, back then when I didn't mind
I was young and numb
But now I'm getting mines without you

Young and numb
Didn't wanna try when I was young and numb
Now I'm on the side, I think I pushed my luck
Please don't leave me dry
I'm on the side, I think I'll try to make it right

[Bridge]
Aye, yeah
I'll float away, away, away
I'll let my mind take me to another place
I'm moving day by day, by day
But I won't let 'em go to waste, nah

[Verse]
It's in the bag, I saw it coming
Dropped out of school and now this shit ain't nothing to me
I see the signs, bitch I ain't bluffing
Look to the sky, it don't need no discussion, yeah
I tried to show love
Nobody fucks with you until you're up, yeah
Doubting me since I was young
Pushing me closer to pulling the plug, yeah
I was a minute away
They seeing gold, I was seeing the grey
Now you watch me erase
I've been feeling out of place
When I'm with you

[Chorus]
'Cos I'mma hit the finish line
Been a RUNNER-UP for a minutes time
And it's true, back then when I didn't mind
I was young and numb
But now I'm getting mines without you
I'mma hit the finish line
Been a RUNNER-UP for a minutes time
And it's true, back then when I didn't mind
I was young and numb
But now I'm getting mines without you

[Outro]
Without you
Yeah, RUNNER-UP
I'm always the
Yeah, RUNNER-UP
I'm always the RUNNER-UP
I'm always the
Take me to the finish line
Take me to the finish line
RUNNER-UP
I'm always the
RUNNER-UP
I'm always
