[Verse 1]
Late night, headlights
Mom callin', hit decline
Friends say, "take that shortcut"
GPS in my mind
Left turn, right turn
Temptation at every sign
Pocket full of small lies
Heart heavy, runnin' blind
[Pre-Chorus]
Every door got a price tag
Every high got a crash back
I was one step from all that
One word from fallin' through cracks
[Chorus]
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when the road turns cold
Yeah, the easy way lookin' golden
But it always takin' souls
I been fightin' good and shallow
Tryna keep a hold on hope
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when I’m standin' alone (standin' alone, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Missed calls, old flings
Text say, "you up?" at two
Scrollin' through my old sins
Every one could still come true
Big talk, small faith
I been tryna act brand-new
But the mirror in the morning
Always ask me, "who are you?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every crowd got a dark side
Every crown got a downside
I was knee-deep in that tide
Heart say "leave," but the game say "ride"
[Chorus]
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when the road turns cold
Yeah, the easy way lookin' golden
But it always takin' souls
I been fightin' good and shallow
Tryna keep a hold on hope
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when I’m standin' alone (oh, standin' alone)
[Bridge]
I been close to the edge, I admit it (yeah)
One step more and my name be finished
But every time that my hands start slippin'
I feel grace in the cracks I’m grippin'
I want peace more than I want status
I want truth more than I want damage
If I lose friends on this long passage
Better lonely than livin' as a phantom
[Chorus]
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when the road turns cold
Yeah, the easy way lookin' golden
But it always takin' souls
I been fightin' good and shallow
Tryna keep a hold on hope
So I walk that straight and narrow
Even when I’m standin' alone
(Yeah, I walk that straight and narrow)
Even when I’m standin' alone (oh yeah)
