Critical
Travie McCoy Feat. Tim William Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If the time, Is near
Then fine, I've been waitin' patiently for years
Fought lines, in my mind
I'm more unstable than I fear

And I don't know
Just take my hand
It's time to go

So just enjoy your blue moon
It'll be over soon
So we might as well have some fun (right)

It's getting Critical
Takes a minute for it set in
I'm unpredictable
And I'm dyin' just tryin' to feel alive again

If the time is near
Don't cry, look me in the eyes and dry your tears
Have a seat, right here
While Los Angeles disappears

And I don't know
Just take my hand
It's time to go

So just enjoy your blue moon
If we're gonna die soon
And we might as well have some fun (right)

It's getting Critical
Takes a minute for it set in
I'm unpredictable
And I'm dyin' just tryin' to feel alive again

It's getting Critical
Takes a minute for it set in
I'm unpredictable
And I'm dyin' just tryin' to feel alive again


The clouds surround us, The light leaves us alone
And the sky falls in your hand
Embrace the moment, cuz now we're headin' home
It couldn't be a sweeter end

It's getting Critical
Takes a minute for it set in
I'm unpredictable
And I'm dyin' just tryin' to feel alive again

The clouds surround us, The light leaves us alone
And the sky falls in your hand




Embrace the moment, cuz now we're headin' home
It couldn't be a sweeter end
