WOULD YOU RATHER
[Verse 1]
When did these streetlights all turn into spotlights
Made for lighting up that pretty face
You might fuck around and catch a case
And since when is my hometown straight out of a movie, when you wish you still knew me but you stuck in place
I can teach you how to keep the pace
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been years (since I've seen you)
Down in tears (when I leave you)
All your fears (were all seethrough)
Now it's clear that I need you
I know that you got my photo hidden in your locket
Your photo's still inside the wallet in my pocket
We could run away, they shouldn't hold you hostage
Know I can love you out of all the worlds watching
[Chorus]
Would you rather end up broke or shattered
I'm not playing it safe
But would you trade it for a save
Baby take off the hazard to start chasing after
We'll make your heart race
[Verse 2]
Since when did the stars dancing up in the night sky
The suns on the bright side, they give you the limelight
You make me feel like a night drive
When it's something simple these mains streets they turn into a ballroom
The cast, they call you front and center stage
I'm excited to watch you do great
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Because you deserve more (than what you settle for)
Done more than a few things (you deserve a medal for)
Spread your wings (it's just a metaphor)
Finer things (is what you're headed for)
Don't let me down (just let me pick you up)
When you break down (then I can fix you up)
And if your drown (I'll always lift you up)
I made a promise I won't give you up
[Chorus]
Would you rather end up broke or shattered
I'm not playing it safe
But would you trade it for a save
Baby take off the hazard to start chasing after
We'll make your heart race
