TAIL LIGHTS lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Morray)

 I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'ma to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I been driving this road

I been driving this road

Uh huh, fork in the middle, got two choices to go

Give the kids a kiss for me if I don't make it home

When I was growing up, we didn't have a diagnosis

We just kept taking more to get the serotonin

Got older and all of my homies overdosing, and therapy

Wasn't an option to process our emotions

Mama always said, "What you afraid of, boy?"

"Everything's good, you got angels, boy"

"Closed mouths go hungry, better raise your voice"

God-sized hole, no replacing the void

We create out of chaos, the music is a seance

The land that our ancestors' grave's on

My favorite artists are my two little girls

I see freedom first hand in what they make with their crayons

The light, it was always on glow

When I was lost I was on the right road

Tail lights ahead as I drive slow

Just a right turn then I find my way home

I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'm going to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I'll follow your tail lights

To wherever they may lead

I'll follow your tail lights

I'll try and match your speed

Virgil said that when you make it to the penthouse

It's your duty to send the elevator back down

Somewhere along the highway I got lost

And I realized God was ahead of me all along

My mind on my business, grind my only mission

Most High, the messenger wasn't quiet enough to listen

My time was occupied, when even dining with my children

It's like me, myself, and I, and I lost sight of the vision

On borrowed time, living in extra innings

Industry survives, I'm glorifying the millions

The playlists and the streams, the album bundles and tees

But they cannot manufacture what resides in the spirit

The Phantom ain't enough if you don't remember all of the countless rides in the Civic

The moments of failure that proceeded this

Not giving a fuck about other people's perception

That's what freedom is and that's what I'm going to teach my kids

Any moment, peace is available

You just gotta remember to breathe it in

And finally I can breathe again

Anyway, man, I'm going to roll the dice

God got the wheel regardless of where I go in life

I know tonight, it was always on glow

And when I was lost, I was on the right road

Tail lights ahead as I drive slow

Just a right turn then I find my way home

I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'm going to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I'll follow your tail lights

To wherever they may lead

I'll follow your tail lights

I'll try and match your speed

I don't use turn signals

Windows tinted, got a perfect view

World's ending, I'm going to burn with you

Sun going down gotta turn in soon, oh yeah

Looking in my rear view glass

Learning from the past with a beautiful crash

Write my name in the dust on the dash

It fades, but the memories last

Tail lights

Tail lights

Tail lights
