mad - young nights (original)

Hey! So it's been a while since I posted a song and it was important for me to take some time to myself, focus on school, and try to work on myself. I wrote this song about high school and leaving it behind since I never felt like I had a good experience with high school and I never really enjoyed it. I was constantly studying for AP classes, running to varsity tennis and advanced choirs, and running the mental health club of my school that I never really could sit down and have fun. I never found close friends that stuck by me, nor did I ever find happiness in high school. This song talks about this struggle, but also looks towards the future of happiness and living in the moment. In the end, it will all work out. And with that note I have very good news: I got into UCLA and will be studying there in the fall!!! Thank you all for coming with me on this journey, and I will continue writing songs till the day I die. Love you.
-mad
(P.S. I'll be recording the full song for this soon so don't worry! Also working on a cool project for you guys!)

Young Nights (lyrics)
(Verses)
I spent too many nights alone and staying awake
Was it worth it for that 5.0 GPA
Cause’ all my dreams are still unclear and so far away
Sometimes it feels like I just need to run away
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish my life was like a cliche teen movie
I wish I crashed my car outside your friend’s party
I wish we watched the stars under the summer breeze
Is it too late? Too late to live out my dreams
(Chorus)
Cause’ I’m so tired and I’m a mess
And I keep running from myself
These are the nights that keep us young
We’re staying up late to pass the time
I’m scared of the future, running from the past
Can’t live now it’s going too fast
One day I’ll find where I belong
But for now, I’ll write this song
I’m so tired
Every night
I’m on fire
But alive
We’re still young
We got time
So for now, for now
Let’s live out our lives
(Verses)
I spent too many days trying to be what I’m not
That I forgot all about the things I got
If this is life then maybe we should just get lost
Can we just drive until the world comes at a stop
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I left the people treating me like less
I wish I finally gathered that self-confidence
I wish we crashed the prom and danced like 96’
Is it too late? Too late to have that movie kiss
(Chorus)
Cause’ I’m so tired and I’m a mess
And I keep running from myself
These are the nights that keep us young
We’re staying up late to pass the time
I’m scared of the future, running from the past
Can’t live now it’s going too fast
One day I’ll find where I belong
But for now, I’ll write this song
I’m so tired
Every night
I’m on fire
But alive
We’re still young
We got time
So for now, for now
Let’s live out our lives
(Bridge)
So let’s live for now
So let’s live for now (x 4)
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish my life was like a cliche teen movie
I wish I crashed my car outside your friend’s party
I wish we watched the stars under the summer breeze
Is it too late? To live out my dreams
(Chorus)
I’m so tired and I’m a mess
And I keep running from myself
These are the nights that keep us young
We’re staying up late to pass the time
I’m scared of the future, running from the past
Can’t live now it’s going too fast
One day I’ll find where I belong
But for now, I’ll write this song
I’m so tired
These nights
I’m on fire
But alive
We’re still young
We got time
So for now, for now
Let’s live out our lives

This is really good! I can’t wait to here the full version !! I had a similar high school experience! I was always working on homework and projects for my AP classes, and was stressed and unhappy for a lot of it. College has been so much better for me, and I feel like you’ll have a better experience too ☺️
