Motion

I am more than just a guy with a short attention span

Who can write your favorite love song just as good as Marvin can

But I don't claim to sing it with the talent of that man

I should know how good he is because I am his biggest fan

There's more to me than jokes and witty lines that I deliver

It's obsessive behaviors that you people do not consider

The lights go out at night, it's not the cold that makes me shiver

It's the stress of trying to sleep when I got issues that are bigger

'Cause lately I've been thinking 'bout the girl that I am losing

I'm concerned about the number of albums that we've been moving

It scares me that when I'm not taking pills I switch to boozing

'Cause the Vicodin is weak no matter how much I'm consuming

My cellphone bill is due but I don't got the cash to pay it

Wanna tell my girl I love her but don't got the time to say it

I can't believe in God so I don't have the right to pray

And just another night alone in the bed I gotta lay in, yeah

It's so important that we get this in motion

I don't think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through

It's so true, I'm just ambitious, I don't mean to insult you

I got big dreams for big things

So I'ma stay right here in the big leagues

I still wonder when you'll understand

This life in music business got a hold on me

But the lack of friends I have is growing old on me

Ever since they all went cold on me

I am losing everyone of my old homies

Kinda getting lonely with the life I'm leading

I am now realizing that there's just no pleasing

Everyone you love and they all got reasons

Say that they're upset 'cause you're gone all season

I miss those days, sit and get wasted

With your best friends, drinking wine, know it tasted

Like two dollar beers, but you don't care

It's all good 'cause your friends all there

But you gotta grow up and move on someday

Find a good job and make money some way

But the one I chose seems so far away

I guess I'll still see you 'round the shows I play
