Late Night Leftovers

Mic on the counter

Takeout on the floor

Text from my mom sayin'

"Boy, are you sure?"

Bills on the table

Dreams on the dash

Scrollin' through my failures

Like a highlight mash

Clock hits 2

Still wide awake

Whole block quiet

But my thoughts quake

Talk tough daily

Alone, I cave

Arguin' with shadows

I still save face

It's them late night leftovers

On my mind, on my soul (yeah)

All the words I ain't say

All the dreams on hold

Runnin' laps in my head

Round and round we go

It's them late night leftovers

That I never let go (never let go)

Friend hit my phone

Say he movin' out state

"Bro, I gotta bounce

Can't keep livin' off fate"

I laugh in a voice note

Say I get it, that's fine

But I stare at my ceiling

Thinkin' "shoulda been mine"

Dad in my ear

From a call last year

"Son, be a man"

But he ain't been here

I pour cheap hope

In a plastic cup

Every sip just show me

What I still ain't done

It's them late night leftovers

On my mind, on my soul (on my soul)

All the words I ain't say

All the dreams on hold

Runnin' laps in my head

Round and round we go (round we go)

It's them late night leftovers

That I never let go (never let go)

If I don't change now

Then when, then when? (huh)

If I don't stand up

I'll bend again

So I write one plan

In this cracked screen glow

Hit save, hit send

Then I whisper "let's go" (let's go)

It's them late night leftovers

On my mind, on my soul

All the words I ain't say

All the dreams on hold

Runnin' laps in my head

Round and round we go

It's them late night leftovers

But I'm learnin' to let go (yeah)

I'm learnin' to let go
