Too many thoughts, I'm sinking
Staying up late, I'm drinkin'
Try to sleep but I'm just too damn tired
Driving my mind to nowhere
Racing it down, I don't care
I look like I'm okay, but I'm not alright
I never knew this could be so hard
Without you by my side
But I remember the sound
Of sneakers on the ground
We were running from the cops, we were running from ourselves
We were kings at the top, we were sleeping in the cells
All my fears and teenage dreams are drowned
I leave my sneakers on the ground
Eyes lock on the windscreen
My heartbeat's increasing
I know I shouldn't drive
But I gotta stay alive while I'm stuck in the fight
Take another pill I'm sinking
One shot, blink you'll miss it
I look like I'm alright, but I'm not okay
I never knew this would be so hard
Without you by my side
But I remember the sound
Of sneakers on the ground
We were running from the cops, we were running from ourselves
We were kings at the top, we were sleeping in the cells
All my fears and teenage dreams are drowned
I leave my sneakers on the ground
I leave my sneakers on the ground
(I leave my sneakers on the ground)
They say, it's time that I grow up
And I should be some kind of adult
They prayed, but never really did
I don't even know how to be a kid
My Mum's here but Dad is gone
And my arms, holding a newborn
I close my eyes and hear the sound
Of sneakers on the ground
We were running from the cops, we were running from ourselves
We were kings at the top, we were sleeping in the cells
All my fears and teenage dreams are drowned
I leave my sneakers on the ground
