Young Nights
Mad Lyrics

I spent too many nights alone and staying awake
I spent countless nights in solitude and insomniac with no companionship

Was it worth it for that 5.0 GPA
Was it worth to earn a perfect grade-point average at the expense of sleepless nights and loneliness

Cause' all my dreams are still unclear and so far away
All my aspirations are hazy and distant that it seems almost unfeasible to achieve

Sometimes it feels like I just need to run away
Sometimes I feel like I have to bolt away from this mundane life and experience something new and exhilarating

I wish my life was like a cliche teen movie
I yearn for a stereotypical teenage movie life - a life less complicated, full of adventure, and love

I wish I crashed my car outside your friend's party
I wish something out of the ordinary would happen to me, something that will shake up my humdrum life

I wish we watched the stars under the summer breeze
I hope for a romantic encounter under a summer sky, with a gentle breeze that would instill unforgettable memories

Is it too late? Too late to live out my dreams
I wonder if my dreams are far-fetched, and if now is the right time to pursue them

Cause' I'm so tired and I'm a mess
Because I am exhausted and feel like everything in life is falling apart

And I keep running from myself
And I keep avoiding confronting my real emotions, laying dormant within me

These are the nights that keep us young
These sleepless nights of contemplation and hope are what keep us feeling young and alive

We're staying up late to pass the time
We're staying awake to keep ourselves entertained, even if sleep would be more logical

I'm scared of the future, running from the past
I am afraid of the unknown and trying to escape the traumas and regrets of the past

Can't live now it's going too fast
I feel like time is moving too quickly, and I can't keep up and enjoy life to its fullest

One day I'll find where I belong
Someday I'll find where I feel like I fit in and what my place in the world is

But for now, I'll write this song
But for now, I'll express my feelings creatively and hope to connect with others who feel the same way

Every night
Every single night

But alive
Despite everything, I'm still alive

We're still young
We still have a lot of life ahead of us

We got time
We have time to explore, learn, and grow

So for now, for now
So for the present moment

Let's live out our lives
Let's make the most of our life experiences and live in the moment

I spent too many days trying to be what I'm not
I spent an extensive amount of time trying to be something I'm not, losing myself in the process

That I forgot all about the things I got
As a result, I forgot about all the things that make me who I am and what I already have in life

If this is life then maybe we should just get lost
If this is all life has to offer, then perhaps we should just wander and explore until we find something worth living for

Can we just drive until the world comes at a stop
Can we just journey indefinitely until everything else halts and our entire existence remains in the present moment

I wish I left the people treating me like less
I wish I could remove myself from the negative people in my life who treat me as lesser than I am

I wish I finally gathered that self-confidence
I wish I could finally gain enough self-esteem and self-worth to believe in myself, my abilities, and what I can achieve

I wish we crashed the prom and danced like 96'
I wish for a night of fun and adventure, just like in the late '90s or early 2000s teen movies where anything is possible

I'm so tired these nights
I'm so drained and exhausted during these sleepless nights

I'm on fire but alive
Despite being fatigued, I feel a burning passion within me, reminding me that I am still alive and capable of more

So let's live for now
So let's enjoy the present and not worry about the future or the past
