Falling Short by Makeshift Cities Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2016

Probably selling my soul for a second
[?]
I was out of my league
In over my head
Fighting off in the deal
Now I'm on the fence

What am I gonna do, when I've got so much to prove
To me, myself, and I
Family, my friends, my crew, my god

[Chorus]
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses, but I ain't gonna wait
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses
Falling short of what you wanted
But I'm still going strong
I've been diving down the Golden State
While you're still hanging on
To that same ol' song
Oh, to that some ol' song
Don't preach at me
Like I had nothing to lose
So many mistakes I made
Back then but now that I'm [?]

My backs been breaking
Cause you've been hanging
On every success I've made
When it's dead and gone
I'll be moving on

[Chorus]
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses, but I ain't gonna wait
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses
Falling short of what you wanted
But I'm still going strong
I've been diving down the Golden State
While you're still hanging on
To that same ol' song
Oh, to that some ol' song

Seems promises are empty conversations
I see little white lies in places where you've always been
No you're never gonna find
Never gonna find what you're looking for
No, you're never gonna get exactly what you want
[Chorus]
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses, but I ain't gonna wait
They can hang me on the crosses, cover me in shade
Throw me to the masses
Falling short of what you wanted
But I'm still going strong
I've been diving down the Golden State
While you're still hanging on
To that same ol' song
Oh, to that some ol' song
