  • Mayday situation overload
    I'm restless, obsessed with your future
    And all my worries they don't bother you
    Collected, you render me useless
    But I carry on

    Right now, I think that you think that I'm
    Half drunk, searching for something of
    Substance, casually dropping a line, designed
    To keep you next to me
    I can't awkwardly craft in advance
    I know, that you wouldn't fall for that
    You say "Shut up and take my hand"
    And we carry on

    I don't wanna say goodnight
    The city comes alive, when we're together
    Why can't Thursday last forever
    I don't wanna say goodnight
    I've never been so sure
    Just do it for the memories
    Do it for Baltimore
    And do it for me

    Hot damn, look at me now
    I'm all, caught up riding the high of my
    Good luck, casually dropping a line, designed,
    To keep you next to me
    I bet you never thought you would fall again
    So much for keeping this, just friends
    Shut up and kiss me now
    And we carry on

    I don't wanna say goodnight
    The city comes alive, when we're together
    Why can't Thursday last forever
    I don't wanna say goodnight
    I've never been so sure
    Just do it for the memories
    Do it for Baltimore
    And do it for me
    (Do it for me)

    Mayday situation overload
    I'm restless, obsessed with your future
    And all my worries they don't bother you
    Collected, you render me useless
    But I carry on

    I don't wanna say goodnight
    The city comes alive, when we're together
    Why can't Thursday last forever
    I don't wanna say goodnight
    I've never been so sure
    Just do it for the memories
    Do it for Baltimore
    And do it for me Writer/s: ALEXANDER WILLIAM GASKARTH, JACK BASSAM BARAKAT, MICHAEL JOSEPH GREEN, ROBERT RYAN DAWSON, ZACHARY STEVEN MERRICK
