2 AM outside the convenience store
Vending machine hums a little more
Smartphone screen stays dark and cold
Staring at the sky, stories untold
Today feels like a sequel to yesterday
Getting used to things not going my way
But standing right here in the night air
Is the only truth that feels actually there
Every time the traffic light turns green
I hear the words from a distant scene
"Are you doing alright?" they used to say
I still don't have an answer anyway
Searching for a way to just escape
Learning how to keep my heart in shape
But deep inside, where I can't hide
There’s still a little hope left on my side
Walking on, walking on, through the endless night
Watching all my heavy words fade out of sight
Maybe there’s no meaning, and that’s okay
Just being right here is enough for today
Walking on, walking on, 'til I’m out of breath
But my feet won't stop, cheating every death
Taking all the weakness I’ll never show
To the bright tomorrow, that’s where I’ll go
A chilly breeze pushes me from behind
Is it being cruel or is it being kind?
The scent of the city stays just the same
But tonight, I don't mind the weight of its name
Even if I never become "someone" at all
Even if I stumble and start to fall
More than the paths that I didn't take
I want to believe in the life I make
Walking on, walking on, as the night turns pale
The reasons I couldn't sleep begin to fail
Rather than counting everything I’ve lost
I’ll feel my heartbeat, no matter the cost
Walking on, walking on, with a silent plea
The feelings in my chest are setting me free
A long detour is fine, let it be
I just want to live as the honest me
Walking on, walking on, into the morning light
It can be a sequel, that’s alright
Holding the things that I cannot change
But still moving forward in this range
Walking on, walking on, in this moment now
I didn't run away, and that’s my vow
Incomplete and broken, but that’s the key
I’m still breathing, and that’s enough for me
And that’s enough
Yeah, that’s enough
