[Intro]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
You go searching for paradise
You sit back and close your eyes
We're burning, yet so alive
And now you've got your hands up
Hoping you catch the high
Feels like the summer time
Chasing the northern lights, oh
Don't like watching your momma cry
You say you'd rather die
She says you're wasting your life

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, life don’t stop the more we pray
All your wrongs from yesterday
Smokin’ himalayan haze
Won’t wash all your sins away

[Chorus]
Hate don’t give
Love don’t rewind all the good times
All the dollars you’ll spend
Give it up for nights like this
Don’t give into overthinking
Pour a drink when it ends

[Verse 2]
Do you hear me through your speakers
So much distance, space between us
Say you're dreaming and I’ve been, too
And no-one knows what you’ve been through
And I've been thinking a little deeper
Contemplation, getting cleaner
See no leaders, need more teachers
I'm in shambles, I don't sleep much

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, life don’t stop the more we pray
All your wrongs from yesterday
Smokin’ himalayan haze
Won’t wash all your sins away

[Chorus]
Hate don’t give
Love don’t rewind all the good times
All the dollars you’ll spend
Give it up for nights like this
Don’t give into overthinking
Pour a drink when it ends (Overthink)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah

Khalid

Born on February 11, 1998, Khalid (Full Khalid Donnel Robinson) became a prominent R&B artist from El Paso, Texas, after Kylie Jenner featured his 2016 hit “Location” on her Snapchat. Khalid’s music seemingly boosted into the mainstream, he signed to RCA Records only months after graduating high school, and he released his debut album, American Teen on March 3, 2017. The album included the two successful singles, the aforementioned “Location,” “Young Dumb & Broke,” and another single “Saved.”

On September 14, 2018, Khalid released his next project, an EP titled Suncity, in relation to El Paso’s nickname. Khalid would follow this up with his second studio album, Free Spirit, which was released on April 5, 2019.
