Lyrics
[Verse 1]
360, 5 left, I'm counting it to the day
I'm thinking if I did everything I've said
Or if the year got the best of me
One thing about time, it waits for nobody
You told me, isn't that what they say
Been batting 'gainst it and gettin' nowhere
Just racin', got nothin'to say to nobody
[Verse 2]
Little lady, you better get in line
Now I'm talking this to myself
Better get in on down with the program
Don't sell your lot for an old broke dream they been sellin' ya
Free fallin' like Tom Petty waitin' on his rodeo to haul
I break my own rules, steal my way home
And guard it still like a beast
[Verse 3]
We race the globe
The shakers and the fools
We trouble, you know
You'll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
[Verse 4]
We race the globe (And I can't have it, have it any other way)
The shakers and the fools (And I can't have it, have it any other way)
We trouble, you know (I'm not gon' have it, have it any other way)
You'll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
(And I can't have it, have it any other way)
[Verse 5]
Always knew I'd be international, no fear of flyin'
Limousines, big people, their parties, but I'm on an island
Watching through a window, the flashing light on the bed
Neon sign goes red, you are here, it says
Well at least someone knows where I am
[Verse 6]
Maybe I will get it wrong, no patience for myself
Selling years of ideas 'till I'm old and living on the shelf
I won't follow, I'm taking the long way
My standards hold me up
Why they eating they idols up
Now, why they eatin' they idols up, dammit
[Verse 7]
I give 'em my heart in words, will they remember me
I'll leave 'em alone and time'll want to smother what I say
I round another year and wonder did I go someplace
I'm bucking this one down, this one right here won't walk away
[Verse 8]
We race the globe
The shakers and the fools
We trouble, you know
You'll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
[Verse 9]
We race the globe (And I can't have it, have it any other way)
The shakers and the fools (And I can't have it, have it any other way)
We trouble, you know (I'm not gon' have it, have it any other way)
You'll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
(And I can't have it, have it any other way)
[Verse 10]
Always knew I'd be international, no fear of flyin'
Limousines, big people, their parties, but I'm on an island
Watching through a window, the flashing light on the bed
Neon sign goes red, you are here, it says
Well at least someone knows where I am
[Verse 11]
You are here, it says
Well at least someone knows where I am
