WOULD YOU RATHER - Ryan Oakes

When did these streetlights all turn into spotlights

Made for lighting up that pretty face

You might fuck around and catch a case

And since when is my hometown straight out of a movie, when you wish you still

knew me but you stuck in place

I can teach you how to keep the pace

It’s been years (since I’ve seen you)

Down in tears (when I leave you)

All your fears (were all seethrough)

Now it’s clear that I need you

I know that you got my photo hidden in your locket

Your photo’s still inside the wallet in my pocket

We could run away, they shouldn’t hold you hostage

Know I can love you out of all the worlds watching

Would you rather end up broke or shattered

I’m not playing it safe

But would you trade it for a save

Baby take off to start chasing after

We’ll make your heart race

Since when did the stars dancing up in the night sky

The suns on the bright side, they give you the limelight

You make me feel like a night drive

When it’s something simple these mains streets they turn into a ballroom

The cast, they call you front and center stage

I’m excited to watch you do great

Because you deserve more (than what you settle for)

Done more than a few things (you deserve a medal for)

Spread your wings (it's just a metaphor)

Finer things (is what you’re headed for)

Don’t let me down (just let me pick you up)

When you break down (then I can fix you up)

And if your drown (I'll always lift you up)

I made a promise I won’t give you up

Would you rather end up broke or shattered

I’m not playing it safe

But would you trade it for a save

Baby take off to start chasing after

We’ll make your heart race
