[Verse 1: Solo] Can you hear the sirens off in the distance? Hoping they don’t come my way While I’m tryna maintain, keep up resistance I can feel them hiding, off in the shadows Hear ‘em whispering my name But I’m tryna maintain on the straight and narrow She’s tryna explain all the things she might do If I only just let her She keep talking about love, I only just met her Tryna be a man of my word, down to the letter And if I didn’t know better I’d swear that you were tryna break me Make me learn the error of my ways [Pre-Chorus 1: Solo] The whole room is lost in the beat as we sway She leans into me and says don’t be a stranger, and And I could be so easily persuaded So please don’t you lead me astray [Chorus: Dan Caplen & Solo] 'Cause I been up so high, free falling I feel like we’ll be kings by morning And in the quiet I can hear them calling I feel like we’ll be kings by morning [Verse 2: Solo & Dan Caplan] In the eerie silence, while the city’s sleeping I replay it in my brain All the strangers and exchanges of the evening The secrets I been keeping But I been running my mouth, running round town, running amok, running rampant I been forming habits, throwing caution to the wind, reckless abandon I been talking candid to these strangers man but they can’t understand it That I’m dropping off the face of the planet, shit this ain’t how I planned it What you grabbing my hand for? Tryna drag me out on that dance floor Something tells me that you a handful and I ain’t the one to make demands on, but All of this going round and around in my head whether I’m here or I’m there Looking around at me at everyone else and I’m wondering what is it going round theirs [Pre-Chorus 2: Solo & Dan Caplan] The whole room is lost in the beat as we sway She leans into me and says, ‘Don’t be afraid.’ The look in her eye saying I should obey Surrounded by all of the downfallen prey 'Cause the whole room is lost in the beat as we sway It’s so hard to leave and so easy to stay Then it hits me—and I hate to be so cliché It’s me who’s gon’ lead me astray [Chorus (Extended): Dan Caplen & Solo] 'Cause I been up so high, free falling I feel like we’ll be kings by morning And in the quiet I can hear them calling I feel like we’ll be kings by morning 'Cause I been up so high, free falling I feel like we’ll be kings by morning I guess I didn’t heed that warning I feel like we’ll be kings by morning
