Smarter Ways Than Before

[Verse 1]
I used to run at every red light
Burning out on every dead end road
Talking loud
But I was half-asleep
Chasing every spark that never glowed
[Chorus]
Now I’m moving in smarter ways than before
Feet on the ground
Still aiming for more
I’m done crashing through every locked door
I’m moving in smarter ways than before (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
I cut the weight I always dragged behind
Old ghosts boxed up in the hall
I’m still scared of wasting daylight
But I’m done pretending I can’t fall
[Chorus]
Now I’m moving in smarter ways than before
Feet on the ground
Still aiming for more
I’m done crashing through every locked door
I’m moving in smarter ways than before (before, before)
[Bridge]
I don’t need a perfect map
Just a reason where I stand
If the future’s gonna break me
I’ll meet it with open hands (hey!)
[Chorus]
Now I’m moving in smarter ways than before
Feet on the ground
Still aiming for more
I’m done crashing through every locked door
I’m moving in smarter ways than
Smarter ways than before
