Warmer Weather
Journey to Freedom: Escaping Conformity in Warmer Weather
Lyrics
I can't live that 9 to 5
I reject the conventional 9 to 5 lifestyle.
I always found some other way to get by
I always find alternative ways to make a living.
I can't seem to live my life confined
I can't live a restricted life.
I never was able to stay within those damn lines
I never conform to societal boundaries.
Lord I know we met a little too late
I acknowledge that we met too late in life.
But I'm still holdin' on to some hope you'll open those gates
I hold onto hope that there's a chance for a positive change.
Though I know it's likely not what you'll do
Acknowledging that positive change might not be the likely outcome.
I guess I'm headed for warmer weather when I'm through
I anticipate moving towards a better place in life eventually.
I know I ain't been by in some time
Admitting absence in the speaker's presence.
I never could get passed those stares and judging eyes
Struggling with societal judgment and scrutiny.
And I get I don't live that righteous life
Recognizing a departure from a morally upright life.
The things I've done and the life I live
Acknowledging past actions and current lifestyle.
I Guess I'm not the prayin' kind
Expressing a lack of inclination towards prayer.
Lord I know we met a little too late
Reflecting on the belated encounter with a positive influence.
But I'm still holdin' on to some hope you'll open those gates
Retaining hope for a positive outcome despite uncertainty.
Though I know it's likely not what you'll do
Acknowledging the likelihood of a positive change being slim.
I guess I'm headed for warmer weather when I'm through
Anticipating a transition to a better life in the future.
Lord I know we met a little too late
Repeating the acknowledgment of a belated positive encounter.
But I'm still holdin' on to some hope you'll open those gates
Reiterating hope for a positive change despite uncertainties.
Though I know it's likely not what you'll do
Repeating the acknowledgment of the slim likelihood of change.
I guess I'm headed for warmer weather when I'm through
Reiterating the anticipation of moving towards a better life.
With the life I live I know I can't blame you
Acceptance of personal responsibility for the current situation.
So I'm headed for warmer weather
Confirming the decision to move towards a better life.
Yeah I'm headed for warmer weather
Affirming the determination to seek a more favorable situation.
Looks like I'm headed for warmer weather when I'm through
Summarizing the imminent transition to a better life.
