Stay up late just to get up early
I’m not looking too hard to stay
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
And any other time, I’m not awake
Another chapter in my life is waiting
But I can’t seemed to find the escape
I’m staying up late to get up early
I’m not sure how to escape
What is it that life wants from me?
When I can’t seem to catch a break
Staying up late to get up early
The sun is shining, and I want it to shine on me
I’m watching all these people wondering,
When can I be free?
When can I be free?
I’m tired of staying up late to get up early
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon
Tonight, I’ll stay up late to figure things out
So I’ll sleep in ‘til noon

Right now I am in the land of nowhere
And I need an escape
So let’s see everything
And find our way to the golden state
I’ve travelled city to city
Taking what life had to offer
I’ve fallen behind and stood above
I’ve seen the failure of success
I’m the girl who grabbed every opportunity, but never made her own
Broken from the preacher’s hands
Running from a quiet home
Trying to explore
Choosing the poorer road
But I’m gonna keep on driving to that horizon
Until I find that bridge
Cross over the golden state
Is this, where I finally learn to live?
Everything seems to be easier
Everything is better with you
So come along with me
We’ll make history
Fighting for that golden state of mind
I feel like I’ve been running in circles lately
And I don’t know where to turn
Surrounded by green summers, and orange falls
I need a view, I need to discern
And maybe the scariest thing
Is that I don’t where the sun goes at night
The best thing I can make of this
Is that I can’t go down without a fight
But all I know is that
I can keep on driving toward the horizon
I can go until I find that bridge
Cross over to the golden state
Where I can learn to live
Everything seems to better
Where it would be you and me
Against history
Fighting for that golden state of mind
And maybe my hair will be dyed by the sun
And maybe your smile will never have to fade
And maybe our dreams will finally come true
And maybe we won’t have to fight for the better days
Give me a reason, I’m tired of rhymes
I need to get out of this place
Take me somewhere, let me feel the rain
People should remember this face
That horizon is calling my name
Where that bridge meets our new life
Heading down the interstate
Reaching to the golden state
Is this where we win the fight?
Everything is better here
Life is golden when I’m with you
You and me
To everyone else we’re history
I’ve reached that golden state of mind

You’ve got this sort of spell on me
Tactics I can't explain
Everything was meant to be over
And yet, I find myself in the rain
Maybe you're drawn to me
You keep asking me to stay
But the night grows darker
Suddenly, everything is ok
When you left me, I was empty
No place to turn
Just trapped in the memory
You and me
Were so happy
Being us and everything was right
But here we are
Opening scars
That I don't think I can forget
Say it's not over
But don’t tell me when you’re sober
Tell me anything, but the truth
Don’t say it’s all for nothing
Because right here, we have something
And I'm tired of walking home in the rain
