The ILLZ, The Temper Trap - Closer lyrics

Hey, Hey, as I'm writin' this song
My account's in the minus
Rent fell behind and I'm countin' up dimes
Damn it's hard for me to fail
Like it's really my time
And when I open up my wallet
And it's there's nothing inside it
And the check ain't comin' till Friday
Damn it's only Sunday gotta make it some way
On my way to Brooklyn on
The New York City subway
Thinkin' it'll be okay
You goin' make it one day
But my mom says "son
Make that struggle yours, "
Cause before you make it listen
You goin' struggle more

Had an all time low I never met before
Face on the floor fightin' for an open door
And when times like these
Though I don't smoke
My homie Al Rose passes and I take a toke
And realize when I'm walkin' on a tight rope
All I really ever have is hope just Hope

How far we've gone how far we're going in
It's the here and the now
And the love for the sound
Or the moments that keep us moving

Want no women right now I'm so selfish
Too busy tryin' to be the next Elvis
Don't see how I can do it being selfless
All I care about is music and Delgis
That's why I spend all this time alone
At home, mad missed calls on my phone
All I really wanna do is let myself grow
Get away somewhere and let it all go
And come back stronger
I'mma make it happen ain't waitin' any longer
Ride through the struggle till it's over
Even when it feels like
I'm carryin' a boulder
Heavy on my shoulders i'mma show ya

Soldier on soldier on
Keep your heart close to the ground

Soldier on soldier on
Keep your heart close to the ground

Don't think about it all
Just keep your head low don't think about it
At all

Yeah, will you take me tonight
O-o-o oh tonight
