[Verse 1]
Yeah, wakin' up yesterday
Woke up, mind didn't have a lot to say
About the last few nights
Past life still strikes, always spins right
Say I'm alright, but they don't know what's it like
Think I'm all good 'cause I'm living in the lights
Well, I probably should be
Fans say if they were me then they would be
Don't know much, but I know so far
Went to bed broken-hearted and woke up a star
Old life discarded, now this who you are
Highly regarded, you like it so far?
Yeah, probably do, it's pretty damn cool when they all know you
Livin' life so fast, got a lot to do
'Cause I got the plan, I got to make the moves

[Chorus]
She said, "There's liquor on the counter
But don't drink that shit for me
Take a couple shots to everything you're 'bout to be, it seems
You're finally past the point of heartbreak
Tell me, how long did that shit take?
Yeah, welcome to your new life, bright lights
Yeah, yeah, welcome to your new life"

[Verse 2]
Step into the room, make the bass go boom
Say we on top, well, I guess that's true
The hype goes on and on
Can't lose myself in the ambiance
Two girls sayin' that I'm all they want
But if I didn't have shine, would they care or not?
Nah, probably wouldn't give a damn
Just lookin' for the green, 'cause the kid go ham
Getting with the team 'cause he slick like Pam
Here for one night, baby, it's your chance
You only get one shot
Now I'll probably take 'em till my heartbeat stop
Get a little crazy when the baseline drops
Get a little hazy when it hits my thoughts
Heart's closed up, can't break the box
I don't think you're the key, but you can pick the lock

[Chorus]
She said, "There's liquor on the counter
But don't drink that shit for me
Take a couple shots to everything you're 'bout to be, it seems
You're finally past the point of heartbreak
Tell me, how long did that shit take?
Yeah, welcome to your new life, bright lights
Yeah, yeah, welcome to your new life"

[Outro]
Welcome to your new life
Welcome to your new life
Liquor on the counter
Liquor on the counter
Liquor on the counter
But don't drink that shit for her
Take a couple shots to everything we're about to be

Abstract

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
