The Shades Lyrics - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Where the hell did soul go? 

I am not the logo 

Been here too long and I'm going home 

Airplane mode, better hold the phone, better hold the phone 

I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror 

Cold feet on the tile, how the hell am I here? 

Lost track of the moment, barely remember the year 

Is this a higher calling or just a career? 

Oh god, I'm lost, my bad, my fault 

And "I'm sorry" doesn't cover all the pain that I've caused 

Just wanna love myself, not codependent on applause 

Just wanna run myself, not codependent on applause

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I don't wanna go to work, nah 

I just wanna play 

I just wanna stay in bed 

And watch life through the shades 

Through the shade 

I just wanna feel better, feel better 

And I don't wanna wait, no 

I just wanna be happy, man 

Man, I'll open up the shades 

Open up the shades, open up the shades 

Photos 

I wish that taro cards would tell me my future 

They say faith is good only if you use it 

My uncle's kidneys failed when he got out the hospital 

But he stayed drunkaholic, he just couldn't get off that bottle 

Couldn't get off that bottle 

I went to the casino, swore I ain't going back 

The next day, went to the ATM and bet it on black 

I spun the roulette wheel and I felt it all start to crash 

Playing cards with the Devil, we all know the dealer wins that 

I got too much bad karma, yeah, I shoulda saved up 

Got kicked off that ladder I was finally getting praise from 

A chance to see how we react when God decides to break us 

Once you pick the pieces up, well then it's time to make something 

I wanna get high, just wanna stay up 

Chipped my teeth on the curb 

Fight, fuck and make up 

Wanna escape my mind, these thoughts need vacations 

And girl, you look good, but you'd look better in Jamaica 

I don't wanna go to work, nah 

I just wanna play 

I just wanna stay in bed 

And watch life through the shades 

Through the shade 

I just wanna feel better, feel better 

And I don't wanna wait, no 

I just wanna be happy, man 

Man, I'll open up the shades 

Open up the shades, open up the shades
