The Motto - Tiësto & Tate McRae

I could write a record full of radio songs Do a bunch of features that my label would love Do a bunch of features that I don't even like Just to build up the hype, yeah I could sell my house and move out to L.A. Get inside of rooms with the biggest of names Hire fifty people just to give me advice on the way I should write (Oh, God) Yeah, sounds like a nightmare, if you ask me Yeah, went from my bedroom to the big leagues You know how many times that I was told things Wouldn't work? But worked out, havin' cold feet Didn't keep me from success, but delayed it some I used to be the guy who'd kill to get a number one I had to hear "that song's a hit" before I thought it was But nowadays, I don't really give a- (what?) Oh, God (yeah) Might catch me at the awards show Eatin' popcorn in the back row Catchin' Zs with my hat low No nominations, but it's cool though Oh, God You might see me in the same clothes I had on last week, am I ashamed? No Yeah, you heard the sayin' "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" that's my motto Yeah, I miss buyin' CDs at the store And thumbin' through the cases tryin' to make a choice Yeah, that don't make no sense to you, well, of course See, one man's inconvenience is another's joy Wow, wow, how are you unemployed? Tellin' me to get a life, you should look at yours Yup, congratulations, you can raise your voice Hope you break both of your legs fallin' off your horse Oh, snap, this is the industry Where it ain't how big you are, it's how big you seem Where people sacrifice the art tryna chase a dream Then they wonder why they music's lackin' creativity Oh, yeah, would've gave anything To be respected by the artist I was listenin' To, but not no more, them days are history Skip the red carpet, you lookin' for me? Oh, God (yeah) You might catch me at the awards show Eatin' popcorn in the back row Catchin' Zs with my head low No nominations, but it's cool though Oh, God You might see me in the same clothes I had on last week, am I ashamed? No Yeah, you heard the sayin' "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" that's my motto Got my feet propped up Leave my shirts untucked I'm the boss, so what? I do what I want (oh, God) You got the trophy, that's great I'm happy for you, no hate Still got a smile on my face Chillin' in the back like "Ayy" Oh, God Yeah, you might catch me at the awards show Eatin' popcorn in the back row Catchin' Zs with my hat low No nominations, but it's cool though Oh, God You might see me in the same clothes I had on last week, am I ashamed? No Yeah, you heard the sayin' "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" that's my motto

You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide, I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne I haven't been around my town in a long while I apologize, but I I've been trying to get this money like I got a couple kids who rely... On me But I remember on the bathroom floor Before I went on tour Like you said we couldn't do it again... 'Cause you had a thing with some other man You said it was love And you said you were lost Then you wished me good luck To find somebody to love But, oooh Now I've heard that you're single And uh huh, I'll give you something to live for Yes, I will Honey please You never thought you'd ever see my face again But your love just swayed the lies When he stared into your eyes He just might be too good for you You're almost dead to him You're sleeping with a frozen heart Well baby girl it's over now And you can always count on me Your unshackled boy, unrestrained to touch So immune to love And it feels so priceless to me That you're always free That you'll take me in Now I'm everything, your everything I bet you'll take me in I know you'll take me in now The same place I left you in (we) I bet you'll take me in I know you'll take me in I know you'll take me in The same place I left you in We Who? Oooh... Oooooooh... No ho... Let her know... You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne

In a quaint caravan There's a lady they call the Gypsy She can look in the future And drive away all your fears Everything will come right If you only believe the Gypsy She could tell at a glance That my heart was so full of tears She looked at my hand and told me My lover was always true And yet in my heart I knew, dear Somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday You see, she looked at my hand and Told me that my baby would always be true And yet, in my heart I knew, dear That somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday

I wish I was a pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Looking at the landscape What a peaceful tiny scene Staring over the skyline Oh I feel the blue dancing on my wings Turn off the engine Imagine what tomorrow brings The time we wont delay Take it from the other side Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life I wish I was a fighter pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Well through the smoke and fire Imagine the hell I'd bring The time we won't delay Take it from the other side You're born and lost But its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Well it's a cold, lost and shame Wash it all out Please wash it all away Now the story's old But its all been told Wish I And I wish I'd fly Alright I wish I was an outlaw Spend my life kicking ass and takin' names There would be no love lost Town to town killin dreams The lines they turn to gray Take it from the inside Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life A one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Ahh
