9.13 lyrics - Khalid

The people of El Paso, Texas proudly present
The key to the city, to Khalid Donnel Robinson
Forever, from the city of the 915
[*applause*]

Vertigo lyrics - Khalid

Are we better off believin'
What the ignorance suggests
I wish livin' life was easy (Mhm)
But mine has been a mess
They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)
But the seasons come and go (They go)
I go blurry when I'm thinkin'
Is it me or vertigo?

Criticized
Who am I to give up?
Breathing what's the reason to let up
Sympathize
Who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?
Or are we dreamin'?
After the ride
Are you leavin'?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leavin'? (Riding this, riding in this)

I've been better, I've been broken
I've been battered up and beat
I wish I was more outspoken
But the words are out of reach
Hmm, thought I loved you in the moment
I was happy, I was gone
I been learnin', I've been growin'
But the worst has yet to come

Criticized (Yeah)
Who am I to give up? (Who am I)
Breathing what's the reason to let up
Sympathize
Who am I to give up?
Puttin' on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?
Or are we dreamin'?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)

(Who am I)

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been, I've been, I've been

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Saturday Nights lyrics - Khalid

Saturday nights, blueberry cigarillos
Swishers make my throat hurt
Rolling OCB's on the side for me
Light 'em up and let 'em both burn
Family feuds, say your mom's confused
Off of shit she doesn't wanna learn
But daddy's gone, say he's never home
And wishing only makes it worse

I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep
'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

All the things that I know
That your parents don't
They don't care like I do
Nowhere like I do
And all the things that I know
That your parents don't
They don't care like I do
Nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do

Saturday nights, light gray Silverado
You drive it 'cause you have to
Stay up working late at a job you hate
Fix your makeup in a dirty bathroom
No more love, in and out of clubs
Knowing what you gotta do
You've got plans wrapped in rubber bands
And that's the only thing you'll never lose

I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep
'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

All the things that I know
That your parents don't
They don't care like I do
Nowhere like I do
And all the things that I know
That your parents don't
They don't care like I do
Nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do

'Cause I care, I care about you
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Than right here around you
I care, care about you
There's nowhere I'd rather be

All the things that I know
That your parents don't
They don't care about you
Nowhere like I do
All the things that I know
That your parents don't
Don't care about you
Nowhere like I
Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)
Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)
Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)
Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)

Salem's Interlude lyrics - Khalid

I think I'm fearful of things like traveling
I'm fearful of failure
I'm fearful of being embarrassed
Things like that I think
Hindered me from doing the best that I can sometimes
But I think that if I learn to be less fearful I would get further
I feel like I'm not always in the correct direction
Even though I know I'm on the right path
I'm like, "I'm on the right path but am I walking the right way or should I be turning around?"
Like little things like that
That I go back and forth right in my head
And I think it's always nice to have reassurance
I think it's really nice to see how far being a genuine person can get you
For me at least, like I think that's the reason I am where I am
I think I am a big make of all the people around me
And I'm just happy, I can't complain about anything, hell yeah

But I'm trying to get so motherfucking high, nigga
I don't want to feel nothin' (wait, what?)

Motion lyrics - Khalid

You'd rather speak more than listen
And that's based off our first impression
I'm gonna hide this affection
But I'm going in the right direction
Floating through different dimensions
The ladders and stairs haven't changed
Honey, I forgot to mention
I'm so entranced by you, it hurts

I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'

Can't let me go if I'm fallin'
I've been on the path of importance
Nothing left, pull you in slowly
The river is running, we're flowing
I'm coming down, you've been rollin'
And we'll light a flame, now we're open
Pour me a, pour me a potion
I'm rocking, I'm rocking the motions

I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'

Nothing feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
Ooh, now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like
Nothing feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
Ooh, now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like
Nothing feels better than this

That made me feel like I'm just speeding, doing 60 in a 35. We're sitting in a car and just holding hands

Better lyrics - Khalid

I'm not really drunk, I never get that fucked up
I'm not, I'm so sober

I love to see you shine in the night like the diamond you are
(I love to see you shine in the night like the diamond you are)
I'm good on this side, it's alright, just hold me in the dark
(I'm good on this side, it's alright, just hold me in the dark)
No one's got to know what we do, hit me up when you're bored
(No one's got to know what we do, hit me up when you're bored)

'Cause I live down the street
So hit me when you need and it's yours
All I hear is...

Nothing feels better than this
Nothing feels better
Nothing feels better than this
Nothing feels better, ooh now
We don't gotta hide
This is what you like, gotta admit
Nothing feels better than this

You say we're just friends, but I swear when nobody's around
(You say we're just friends, but I swear when nobody's around)
I keep my hand around your neck, we connect, are you feelin' it now?
(I keep my hand around your neck, we connect, are you feelin' it now?)
'Cause I am

I get so high that I ignite, I swear to God, feel my feet leave the ground
(I get so high that I ignite, I swear to God, feel my feet leave the ground)
Ooh, yeah
Your back against the wall, this is what you been talkin' about
In my ears

Nothing feels better than this
Nothing feels better
Nothing feels better than this
Nothing feels better, ooh now
We don't gotta hide
This is what you like, gotta admit
Nothing feels better than this

You know that if I left
I'd take you back
When you say it, you say it like that, oh yeah
You know that if I left
I'd take you back
When you say it, you say it like

Nothing feels better than this
Nothing feels better
Nothing feels better than this
(Nothing feels better) ooh now, now
We don't gotta hide
(This is what you like, gotta admit)
Nothing feels better than this
(Better than this)

Nothing feels better than this

Llévame ciudad de sol
Llévame, llévame

Llévamelo
Solo ciudad de sol

Donde dejé mi corazón
Llévame, llévame
Llévamelo

[Khalid:]
Two days 'til I'm back on the road and I'm wanting you
I hear you calling me, so come onto me tonight
No time to be worried about what we wanna do
Just take care of me, I'll let you take the lead tonight

[Khalid & Empress Of:]
Feel it coming over me
Solo así junto a ti
Don't let the city break your heart
Conmigo no tienes que llorar

Llévame a ciudad de sol
Llévame, llévame
Donde dejé mi corazón

Llévamelo
Solo la ciudad de sol
Llévame, llévame
Donde dejé mi corazón
Llévame, llévame
Llévamelo

[Khalid:]
No room to be falling for you without honesty
Don't be scared of me
It's where you wanna be, tonight
It's alright, alright for the meantime
If I have to wait, I'll be patient, babe
Tonight

[Khalid & Empress Of:]
Solo así junto a ti
Don't let the city break your heart (Your heart)
Conmigo no tienes que llorar

Wind it up slow for me, pick it up, pick it up
Wind it up slow for me, pick it up, pick it up
Wind it up slow for me, pick it up, pick it up
Wind it up slow for me, pick it up, pick it up

I-I send you a lot of hugs
And, hope to see you very soon

American Teen (2017)












American Teen lyrics - Khalid

Living a good life full of good vibes
My eyes are on the grey skies
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
I don't even remember
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

From the city of the 915
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are with me
Going up for the night
But who cares, who cares

'Cause this is our year
So wake me up in the Spring
While I'm high off my American dream (American dream)
We don't always say what we mean
It's the life of an American teen

Maybe the end is near
But I've been waiting all year
To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
Off of all the things that I've taken and
Maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking

From the city of the 915
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are with me
Going up for the night
But who cares, who cares

'Cause this is our year
So wake me up in the Spring
While I'm high off my American dream (American dream)
We don't always say what we mean
It's the life of an American teen (American teen)
My youth is the foundation of me
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
American teen, oh yeah

We don't always say what we mean
When we're high off our American teen
My youth is the foundation of me
Oh, I'm proud to be American

So wake me up in the Spring
While I'm high off my American (American dream)
And we don't always say what we mean
It's the life of an American teen (American teen)
My youth is the foundation of me
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
American teen
American teen, oh yeah

American teenager
And I'll be living this dream with you

We don't always say what we mean
When we're high off our American teen
My youth is the foundation of me
Oh, I'm proud to be American
