Always One Night Late

Lyrics

Verse 1
Blue light on my face
Scrolling like it’s oxygen
Every smile a race
Every win I’m not in

Plans on another story
I’m still in my old jeans
You’re out chasing glory
I’m chasing little screens

Pre-Chorus
Heart rate in my hands
Double tap, demand
Everyone’s ahead
I’m stuck in my head

Chorus
I got FOMO running circles in my brain
Every “maybe later” turning into “too late”
All these open doors that I don’t take
Falling further back with every step I fake
I got FOMO, FOMO, burning through my veins
Like I’m at the party but I’m locked outside the gate
Tell me, is it living if I only watch the frame?
I got FOMO, and it’s calling out my name

Verse 2
You post from the rooftop
Glitter in your hair
I freeze on the first stop
Wonder if I should be there

One more invitation
I ghost, then I regret
I rehearse explanations
Write replies I never send

Pre-Chorus
Heart rate in my hands
Double tap, demand
Everyone’s ahead
I’m stuck in my head

Chorus
I got FOMO running circles in my brain
Every “maybe later” turning into “too late”
All these open doors that I don’t take
Falling further back with every step I fake
I got FOMO, FOMO, burning through my veins
Like I’m at the party but I’m locked outside the gate
Tell me, is it living if I only watch the frame?
I got FOMO, and it’s calling out my name (calling out my name)

Bridge – Rap (male)
Yeah
My friends in the group chat flexing, I’m “seen”
Sitting in the dark with the screen on beam
Saying “I’ll pull up” then I stall, then I sink
Let the night go by while I overthink

All of these “what ifs” stuck in my throat
Every missed moment like a stone on a boat
I’m scrolling through the highlights, drowning in the cuts
Every single “skip” put a crack in my guts

I’ve been chasing every room that I’m not in
Every inside joke that I’m not caught in
Running from myself, but I lose that race
’Cause I bring this fear to every single place

Breakdown – Female
(Oh) I’m tired of the chase
Of being everywhere, but never in my own space
(Oh) I’m done keeping score
’Cause I’m right here now
And I don’t need more

Chorus
I got FOMO running circles in my brain
Every “maybe later” turning into “too late”
All these open doors that I don’t take
Falling further back with every step I fake
I got FOMO, FOMO, but I’m breaking from the chain
If I miss a moment, I can make one in its place
If it isn’t living when I only watch the frame
Then tonight I choose the fire, not the flame

Outro
Blue light fades down slow
One deep breath, let go (let go)
If the world spins fast
I’ll dance in my lane
And leave that FOMO
Screaming out my name (hey)
