## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Clyde Lawrence]

Mmm

[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence, *Jon Bellion*]

It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this

Take a good four chords, let 'em loop as is

And if it's still got soul, then I've realized

It still feels good when you simplify

'Cause I've been waitin' for a while for a shot like this

But another near hit is another near miss

And I can smell the smoke, but it's no cigar

I feel so close, yet I feel so far

And I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (*Hey*)

[Chorus: Clyde, *Clyde + Gracie Lawrence*]

These *false alarms*

Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms

[Verse 2: Clyde, *Gracie*, **Jon Bellion**]

It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this

I'll let the music speak, not the publicist (*Ooh*)

And the dream is big, but the van is small

So give the keys and I'll give my all

'Cause I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (**Hey**)

[Chorus: Clyde, *Gracie*, **Jon Bellion**]

Oh-oh, these false alarms

I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (*These false alarms*)

Yeah (**Hey**)

Oh-oh, these false alarms

Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms

[Verse 3: Jon Bellion, Gracie]

Clyde and Gracie sent this song across my desk and then

They asked if I could shine some light, they'd hold it dear like venison

I'm not no Edison, my club don't got no membership

But I could use my penmanship to drop a couple gems and shit

My fries come with some nuggets in my old age

Couple grains of salt, I got some Goya and some Old Bay

I wrote a couple hits on the piano in my foyer

Labels try to challah for my bread, I tell 'em, "Oy vey"

Make sure you keep your masters so these assholes don't get shoppin' sprees

Fame is overrated and Live Nation's a monopoly

Don't ever stress the credit if your check comes with the royalties

And hype is somethin' someone needs when fans can't give you loyalty

Every mistake I made is like an institute

Y'all could be the two-point-oh, I say it in my interviews

If I had to pick a single thing, the only thing I'm givin' you

Keep one foot in the future and the other in the livin' room, wow (*Ah*)

[Chorus: Clyde, *Gracie*, *Both*, ***Jon Bellion***]

It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this (*It's been a while, it's been a while*)

And yeah, I've knocked a few things off my bucket list (*Ooh*)

And I can **feel my patience wearing thin**

Now it's belly up or it's Bellion

And I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (*Don't you know now*)

Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (*Oh*, ***hey***)

[Outro: Clyde, *Gracie*, **Jon Bellion**]

Oh, these false alarms (*These false alarms*)

Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms

Na-na-na-na-na (**Hey**)

Ooh-oh, these false alarms

Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
