Emery - 2:38 lyrics
[Emery - 2:38 lyrics]
Couple hundred dollars in my pocket
Couple thousand miles from home
Pulled up with everything we
Own and no place to go
Found ourselves a small apartment
Just a place to make our beds
Wrote down every thought that I ever had
Played guitar til my fingers bled
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
It's 2: 38 in the morning
No clarity in my mind
If I could regulate all the chemicals
Maybe I could get some sleep at night
Working nine to five just to pass the time
And pay all the debts that I owe
Bear my days and grin
What I wouldn’t give to hear
Our song on the radio
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
And the times that I recall when
We had nothing at all
Writing songs with my best friends
This is how the story begins
It’s not the destination that
You are looking for
The journey never ends and we
Must carry the torch
The notes from my fingers
The words from my mouth
The songs write me as they please
Not the other way around
It's not the destination that
You're looking for
(Is it worth it? Would you change it
Would you do it over if you could?)
The journey never ends
But we must carry the torch
(There’s a feeling that you have when you do
Much more than you thought you would)
The notes from my fingers
The words from my mouth
(Now the years are disappearing just
Right from underneath my feet)
The songs write me as they please
Not the other way around (Never hold back
Never give in to the lies
Your fears make you believe)
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
Couple thousand miles from home
Pulled up with everything we
Own and no place to go
Found ourselves a small apartment
Just a place to make our beds
Wrote down every thought that I ever had
Played guitar til my fingers bled
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
It's 2: 38 in the morning
No clarity in my mind
If I could regulate all the chemicals
Maybe I could get some sleep at night
Working nine to five just to pass the time
And pay all the debts that I owe
Bear my days and grin
What I wouldn’t give to hear
Our song on the radio
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
And the times that I recall when
We had nothing at all
Writing songs with my best friends
This is how the story begins
It’s not the destination that
You are looking for
The journey never ends and we
Must carry the torch
The notes from my fingers
The words from my mouth
The songs write me as they please
Not the other way around
It's not the destination that
You're looking for

Would you do it over if you could?)
The journey never ends
But we must carry the torch
(There’s a feeling that you have when you do

Your fears make you believe)
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
