360, Gossling - Miracle In A Costume lyrics

Yeah, listen, yeah

Before music was a piece of my life
I used to play basketball
That was me every night
Wanted to play college to, yo
I'd reach for the sky
Until eighteen, I caught some
Disease in my eye, yeah
I had to stop playing, what should I do?
When ball was the only thing I wanted to do
Listen, that forced me to focus on music
PEZ sat me down like "Bro, we can do this"
After hearing that I didn't need more really
Going half-blind made me see more clearly
Yo, I've learnt to take the good with the bad
I'm half-blind, yeah
But now have a look where I'm at
When something seems to turn negative in life
You can always go and turn
It into anything you like
So if it happens, just remember every time
Yo, a tragedy can always be
A blessing in disguise

When you're on your own
No one's there for you
When you're all the way home
There'll be a miracle in a costume

Yeah, uh when I was young I was
Attracted to the dark side
I wanted everyone to see me as the hard guy
Walking around with my mates
Tryna start fights
Hoping that they wouldn't want to, 'cause
I can't fight thinking back now
That shit coulda ended crazy
I'm just glad that that
Situation never faced me
Back then I was thinking you
Could never change me what a dickhead
That's not how my parents raised me
See, I wasn't facing the facts
Acting crazy, wishing I could
Take it all back, but
It took one of my mates to get stabbed
Just to realise that shit wasn't a game
It was wack
That's how I wrote "So Fake" so easily
'Cause a part of those dudes
I could see in me
So, if somebody's wanting to fight
Just swallow your pride and leave
It be and that's real

When you're on your own
No one's there for you
When you're all the way home
There'll be a miracle in a costume

Yeah, uh i nearly died in the accident
Yeah, and so I wrote this story
It's funny though that the
Worst thing to happen
Pro'bly was the best thing for me
Falling and flying shouldn't take this long
But thanks to the crash, yo, I made this song
So now I ain't afraid to see
The day that I die
Because with this I'll be staying alive
(I'll be staying alive)
Yeah, I believe in believing
The sky's the limit have a look
And you'll see me up there flying in it
It's a nice view, sometimes you might lose
But understand, when you fall you can fly too
Don't let anybody tell you what you can't do
Don't let 'em enter in your
Head because they aren't you
And understand you could have
Anything you want if you put the effort in
To remember what you've got

When you're on your own
No one's there for you
When you're all the way home
There'll be a miracle in a costume
