lyrics

It’s a long drive under the moonlight
But if I spend one more night in this old room
I fear that I might
Anxiously relapse into my youth

Yeah, you’ve got excuses
For every word you said and thing you did
I was just a kid
And I’m still trying to work it out

So I reach my destination
There’s fear in the air and I swear it’s contagious
I came here for a reason
‘Til I see it through there’s no way that I’m leaving

Yeah, you’ve had excuses
For every word you said and thing you did
Well I’m just a kid
And I’m still trying to work it out

I guess it’s true what you meant when you said
I succumb to the fears in my head
It’s funny how the memories that fade
Can really make you wonder just what are you waiting for?

It’s a quiet drive into the sunrise
I’ve never felt alive like this before
And I feel that I might
Finally be freed of my private war

Never thought I'd see you change
Maybe I'm amazed at the way it is
We’re all just kids
And we’re all still trying to work it out

Now I’m seeing everything with new eyes
And for the first time in my life
Every dream’s within reach, everyone is the same
I know what I must be and I’m not gonna wait anymore
