The Layover

S whats a young man to do ?
Had a million in the bank when I turned 22. Alright. 
Am I the same me ? Doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn't changed me. 
If only that were true now. But aint a artist in the game that can do what 
I do. 
I aint your little secret no more. But listen real close, and I give you 
One more. 


See all of these American dreams, that I find myself living out. 
Mixed with all of these man-made woman that I find myself digging out. 
They tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around. 


But I aint ever been afraid of people getting inside, I'm more afraid of 
What I got on the inside, getting out. 
What was left. A perfect mess. 
If we forget. A perfect mess. 
What was left. A perfect mess. 
That we forget. 


Been a while since 09 remember when I told you it was a matter of time 
Did you believed me or Did it take this long. 
I told Sean if I ever got on that I'd never ever buy a chain with ice. 
And I didn't. 
Before this all changed my life, from dreams in the dorm room to doing big things 
In the boardroom. 


See all of these non-American bottles that I find myself sipping out. 
Mixed with all of the things Imma have to relearn and one day live without. 
Mixed with all of the things inside my head that I can't figure out. 


But I aint ever been afraid of people seeing inside, I'm more afraid of 
What I got on the inside, getting out. 
What was left. A perfect mess. 
If we forget. A perfect mess. 
What was left. A perfect mess. 
That we forget.
