One Before I Die

I keep a contract in the back of the car
Just in case somebody really wants to make me a star
I get in contact with celebrities
Drop a demo with their manager that they’ll never see

I guess it's high time I accept the right time
Is never something that I will find
Or you’re just being too polite to
Tell me that this isn’t for me

Leave a message saying that you’re proud of me
When you always thought I was a nobody

I’m tying my shoelaces and I wanna see your faces singing One Before I Die
For that girl who turned me down wish that you could see me now singing One Before I Die

This is not where I thought I would be
Can’t even sell a hundred of my tickets for free
Just gotta hold on until something breaks
Keep on smiling at the rain and never make a mistake

It gets old
When no one gets the joke
That you already know
But you build that s*** up anyways

Leave a message saying that you’re proud of me
When you always thought I was a nobody

I’m tying my shoelaces and I wanna see your faces singing One Before I Die
For that girl who turned me down wish that you could see me now singing One Before I Die

There’s so many things that I have overcome
I wanna see my name in lights just once
Do you think that it's impossible
Because I don’t think that it ever was
