Last Ditch Effort Lyrics

Every night in my prayers

I ask God for the same list of things

A ritualistic affair

Like I've rehearsed my words

Begging for the same dreams

Ever since I was little

I've always wished the same damn wish upon a star

And God was it fickle

All these years and I'm still

At the start

But lately it feels like I'm running out of time

Ooh

To chase the things that make my heart beat and not flatline

Ooh

'Cause God knows that I've waited

For some night to come save me

So I spill all my secrets to the night sky

It's always the same damn story

I never planned for it to be this way

My last ditch effort for fame and glory

'Cause now I've learned from all of my mistakes

I won't say if no more

I've been there before

And I was miserable

But now I'm sure

They say the world isn't fair

To give up on all of my wasted attempts

And I pretend I can't hear

But their words sting deep in wounds I didn't know were there

And I'm sick of being patient

Waiting on a miracle to sweep me off my feet

I guess I'll take it from here

Force my way into the

Big screens

But lately it feels like I'm running out of time

Ooh

To chase the things that make my heart beat and not flatline

Ooh

'Cause God knows that I've waited

For some divine intervention

So I spill all my secrets to the night sky

It's always the same damn story

I never planned for it to be this way

My last ditch effort for fame and glory

'Cause now I've learned from all of my mistakes

And I've been questioning if it's really for me

Or just a lucid pipe dream

Have I been making silly plans that cannot be

Like a little girl's fantasy

I used to run away when I was just a kid

I used to hide my face when I was embarrassed

I was afraid of authenticity

So I wrote stories and pretended they were me

It's always the same damn story

I never planned for it to be this way

My last ditch effort for fame and glory

'Cause now I've learned from all of my mistakes

I won't say if no more

I've been there before

And I was miserable

But now I'm sure
