Pen + Paper

(album: Open Letter - 2015)

Turn the pages back so I
Can sit and think about this life
Am I gonna be somebody?
Will the life I live have some meaning?

All I know is since I was a child
My imagination, it ran wild
Surrounded by all this mystery
I was going to be the one to find the meaning

And they say
"All the dreams that you made up
Won't make you ever add up to much"
I did it for the dream to leave it
I've fought too hard to live with regret

I will find my way out, all by myself
And I don't need your safe line (Whoa, whoa)
I'll make mistakes, I'll find my way

Turn the clocks back to a time
Where all these questions in my mind
Led me to a pen and paper
Fast forward to eight years later

Now it's all that guides me
I see, this is my true calling
And I'll do it my way
Change the world with every note I sing

And they say
"All the dreams that you made up
Won't make you ever add up to much"
I did it for the dream to leave it
I've fought too hard to live with regret

I will find my way out all by myself
And I don't need your safe line (Whoa, whoa)
I'll make mistakes, I'll find my way

I will find my way out all by myself
And I don't need your safe line (Whoa, whoa)
I'll make mistakes, I'll find my way

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!

'Cause when it's over, there's no rewind
So live it up, don't give it up now
The only thing we're losing is our time
So live it up, don't give it up now

And when it's over there's no rewind
So live it up, don't give it up now
The only thing we're losing is our time
So live it up, don't give it up

And I will find my way out all by myself

And I will find my way out all by myself
And I don't need your safe line (Whoa, whoa)
I'll make mistakes, I'll find my way

I will find my way out all by myself
And I don't need your safe line (Whoa, whoa)
I'll make mistakes, I'll find my way
