Make It Up As I Go (feat. K.Flay)

I keep on runnin' backwards, I keep on losin' faith

I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way

My brother said, "Be patient," my mother held my hand

Don't know what I'm chasin', don't know who I am

Woke up this morning holdin' my head

Thinkin' last night is one I'll regret

Watchin' after bad decisions, the blurry vision

The clues that I'm still a mess

Spittin' out the taste I have in my mouth

Knowin' what this all is really about

Knowin' there's an explanation, an expiration

I gotta figure **** out

And they're askin' me if I can see the darkness down below

And I know it's true, I say I do and half the time I don't

Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind

But I shut my eyes and cross each line, and every time

I keep on runnin' backwards, I keep on losin' faith

I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way

My brother said, "Be patient," my mother held my hand

I don't know what I'm chasin', I don't know who I am

Wakin' in the dead of night, I can't sleep

Sleepin' in the light of day for like weeks

Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless

Instead, I gritted my teeth

I didn't have the patience left to explain

Didn't wanna wait while nobody came

I know the path I had's uneven, but while I'm breathin'

I have to make my own lane

And they're askin' me if I can see the darkness down below

And I know it's true, I say I do and half the time I don't

Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind

But I shut my eyes and cross each line, and every time

I keep on runnin' backwards, I keep on losin' faith

I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way

My brother said, "Be patient," my mother held my hand

I don't know what I'm chasin', I don't know who I am

So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

I make it up as I go, as I go

I keep on runnin' backwards, I keep on losin' faith

I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way

My brother said, "Be patient," my mother held my hand

I don't know what I'm chasin', don't know who I am

So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh

I make it up as I go, as I go
