Caught in the midnight of the moment
Left in the dark with nothing else
Now I am fighting for survival
Leaving my heart upon the shelf
Trying to become someone better
Dying to become someone strong
So I can finally learn my lesson
Then I can finally move along

No matter what I do
All it seems to move in slow motion
No matter what I do
All it seems to move in slow motion

Give it up for the highlife feeling
We fall from the ceiling and fly
‘Cause I’m just a man who’s trying to sleep
Through the night

City of angels ain’t no heaven
Even the devil knows my name
Empire state ain’t that much better
A different setting, same old game
All of these taxi cab confessions
Leaving me feeling all alone
So I’m counting all the street lights
Till I can finally make it home

No matter what I do
All it seems to move in slow motion
No matter what I do
All it seems to move in slow motion

Give it up for the highlife feeling
We fall from the ceiling and fly
‘Cause I’m just a man who’s trying to sleep
Through the night

Go ahead and put up a fight
‘Cause I know if you’re gonna stop, then I’ll go
If you wanna rock, then I’ll roll
Go ahead and put up a fight
‘Cause I know if you’re gonna stop, then I’ll go
If you wanna rock, then I’ll roll

Give it up for the highlife feeling
We fall from the ceiling and fly
