Pushing each other to the limits,

we were learning quicker.

By eleven smoking herb
              G#
and drinking burning liquor
 C#                              D#
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

will ever really know me

I donʼt believe in failure.
 C#                           D#
Cause I know the smallest voices,

they can making major,

I hope to see you later.
