## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: Jon Bellion, *Travis Mendes*]

A song a day for six years seems like light years away from today

(*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

Too many coincidences and instances of God's hand, it's insane

(*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

I thought my way to greatness

I could claim this, but He gave me the brain (*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

You know what I'm saying?

And those thoughts can get confusing, it's amusing

But tonight, we celebrate (*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Lay me down, put me out

Call me home, let me know

I'm ready to go

'Cause I was down, now, I've flown

Oh, what's reality lately?

[Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

And I don't mean John Travolta, yeah

And I don't mean John Travolta

[Verse 2: Jon Bellion, *Travis Mendes*]

Dancing under sunset in the mountains

Just reflecting for the day (*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

I've seen this in my head a million times

But to see it come to life is just insane (*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

Champagne and orange juice

Mimosas were Pulp Fiction in the way (*Hey, hey, hey, hey*)

That all can get confusing, it's amusing

But tonight (**Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, celebrate**)

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Lay me down, put me out

Call me home, let me know

I'm ready to go

'Cause I was down, now, I've flown

Oh, what's reality lately? (Oh)

[Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Lay me down, put me out

Call me home, let me know

I'm ready to go

'Cause I was down, now, I've flown

Oh, what's reality lately? (Oh)

[Chorus: Jon Bellion]

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

Remember dreams seemed far away

Was pinching pennies like Lane and Hardaway

Now my beats make feasts for holidays in Greece

And I don't mean John Travolta

[Outro: Jon Bellion]

(*Far away, Hardaway*)

(*Holiday, don't mean John Travolta*)

(*Far away, Hardaway*)

(*Holiday, don't mean John Travolta*)

Lay me down, put me out (Far away)

Call me home (*Hardaway*)

(*Holiday, don't mean John Travolta*)

(*Don't mean John Travolta*)

Call me home (**Glory Sound Prep**)

I'm ready to go
