It's 45 past 6, yeah
Pressing the gas quick, yeah
Gotta make it where I'm going
For this shit could get tragic
These rose tinted glasses
Disappear like it's magic
The vision of the world I've been holding
Is past tense
[Verse 1]
Running late on borrowed time
Heart's racing, feel the climb
Every second slipping through
Like sands in an hourglass, chasing what's true
[Chorus]
It's 45 past 6, yeah
Pressing the gas quick, yeah
Gotta make it where I'm going
For this shit could get tragic
These rose tinted glasses
Disappear like it's magic
The vision of the world I've been holding
Is past tense
[Verse 2]
Through the city lights I speed
Leaving behind all the creed
False hopes and hidden tricks
Unveiling now in a swift remix
[Bridge]
No more illusions, nowhere to hide
Time to face the truth inside
Mirrored moments crashing down
Stepping into the real, unbound
[Chorus]
It's 45 past 6, yeah
Pressing the gas quick, yeah
Gotta make it where I'm going
For this shit could get tragic
These rose tinted glasses
Disappear like it's magic
The vision of the world I've been holding
Is past tense
[Outro]
Ticking clocks and faded dreams
Rushing towards what it means
No more living in disguise
Chasing futures past the lies
It's 45 past 6, urgency defined
Every moment, redefined
Chords not available
Beat not available
It’s 45 past 6
Pressing the gas quick
Gotta make it where I’m going
For this shit could get tragic
These rose tinted glasses
Disappear like it’s magic
The vision of the world I’ve been holding
Is past tense
