about

A song about growing older, and experiencing first-hand the people you always looked up to turning into something they always swore they wouldn't be.

lyrics

I'll smile while it's easy
'Cause it gets tougher every day
So don't get used to the expressions I display
I remember wanting life to fly past me
Always thought that would help me out
But you know, that doesn't help me now
Because I'm falling faster now
I was never really on the ground

Is there anyone left who hasn't made that jump?
Is everybody too far gone?
Is there anyone here who hasn't sold their soul?
Or am I really out here on my own?
All the people that I love keep moving on
Is it too much to ask for some place to call home?
Is there anyone who hasn't gave up innocence for ignorance?
Cause I'm standing on the edge and I'm all alone

I'll love because it feels good
Giving sets me straight
And I don't belong anywhere that houses hate
I guess I'm just tired of burning bridges
Like I've done so many times
Through all the years self-doubt has changed my mind

I was nervous but now I'm sure
Of the direction I am heading for

And if you only go straight through life
You might not see what's to the left or to the right
And if you throw yourself into reverse
You'll just be dreaming ahead as you're being pulled back with the tide
You can go up, you can go down
Might have to turn yourself around
Just don't be afraid to color outside the borders
Because the only true way to go anywhere in life
Is just to open up your eyes and move forward

I'm all alone...
