Lyrics

Nominated

[Verse 1]

Walk on air and then you'll know

Tell me where and when I'll go

Get rid of the things I hold

[Chorus]

Well, I can't make it, I'm so frustrated

On tryin' getting to the top

And I might hate it and feel so dated

I can't help but feel it out

[Verse 2]

Tell your friends and those you dear

The second wave is drawing near

Nominated for the year

[Chorus]

Well, I can't make it, I'm so frustrated

On tryin' getting to the top

And I might hate it and feel so dated

I can't help but feel it out

[Post-Chorus]

My time is time I'm looking to celebrate

My time is the onе to keep up, to keep up

To keep up

[Chorus]

Well, I can't make it, I'm so frustrated

And I might hatе it, and feel so dated

My time is short, but I'm sure not wasted
