lyrics

I was looking for a sign
Or a space to unwind
Settled for a place
I could pass the time

I was looking to the future
Or a way to rewind
Fell into the moment,
With a new frame of mind

Never going back
Been off track
Make my own path
Even when it’s pitch black

Rely on instincts
No need to overthink
Existence is a privilege
My truth is unique

I’m slowly drifting away
from under a spell
that kept me in my place
and made it harder to tell
what it’s like to belong
every time that I fail
I know It won’t be long
before my heart sets sail

The hardest part of starting over
Is knowing when to fold
Flashbacks like a heart attack,
When there’s nowhere left to go

Breaking free of expectations
Taking in more than the eye can see
Looking for an evolution
A language I don’t have to speak

I’m slowly drifting away
from under a spell
that kept me in my place
and made it harder to tell
what it’s like to belong
every time that I fail
I know It won’t be long
before my heart sets sail

Now I see it all in a different light
As something starts to give
Before It all just falls apart
I know I've only got one life to live

I’m slowly drifting away
from under a spell
that kept me in my place
and made it harder to tell
what it’s like to belong
every time that I fail
I know It won’t be long
before my heart sets sail
