It's Been Quite a While ft. Mike Khaos Lyrics

Get up to stay right where you are

Sit down and it will take you far

Wake up to finally get some rest

Find me at my best

It's been quite a while

It's my lifestyle

It's been quite a while

We just tryna buy some time

So we deal with the lies

What am I waiting for?

The pen to grab my hand?

To be played in by the band?

Til' the notes jump off the stand?

Why am I not skating more?

Cuz I don't wanna deal with cops?

Cuz they built houses on all of the good spots?

It used to be so easy to move between these different circles but now

We need to be moving forward, but how?

Anxiety fighting me

What am I getting so ancy about?

Why is my conscience like the angel of doubt?

Listen

There's nothing to hear and no silence allowed

All I could ever say was selling mist to a cloud

It's like I got more stuck the more I moved around

Ever since I locked the door, now my feet don't touch the ground

Get up to stay right where you are

Sit down and it will take you far

Wake up to finally get some rest

Find me at my best

Still searching for myself

That's what I'm trying to inspect

I don't know what to expect

Not too much we accept, except

A bit of respect

Looking thru my specs

I see it all in retrospect

Lift me off the ground when I feel like Ima drown

Lift me up, lift me up when I'm down

When I'm down and out

My pain's what I'm drowning out

I'm sittin' here just driving around

Just thinking about, all the lies that I found out

Had a good woman I prioritize

Our business wasn't privatized

People lookin' in, little Private I.'s

I sit as I hypothesize

We tell the truth to protect each others feelings, yeah

Maybe we just do it to delete the guilt we're feeling yeah

As long as it don't break the trust that you've been building

Then it's fine

Cuz people can't take no realness

What if I say I wasn't ok?

Then who would be there?

Going thru this situation when you're by yourself can be a nightmare

But we can't admit to being lonely

Cuz they say it makes you less of a man

So we keep on pretending it will all be fine

Watching and counting as the days go by

How do we keep up with all of the lies?

When we know it's affecting so many lives

Seem to get caught up in all of our pride

I promise you won't break my heart

I'm just here to play my part
