[Verse 1]
Eighteen years and the map is blank, I'm standing on the shore
The tide is pulling a hundred ways, I haven't chosen door
They ask me for the five-year plan, I fumble for a name
I've got a closet full of hobbies, but nothing for the fame
One day I'm chasing headlines, the next, it's just the stars
Living out a thousand lives inside these little jars.
[Pre-Chorus]
The engine's revving, the light is green, but I don't know the road
It's a heavy kind of freedom, this unpredictable load
My friends are signing leases, wearing suits and acting grown
And I'm still feeling like a stranger in a house I call my own.
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a blueprint undecided, a sketch still in the sand
A heart that’s always fighting for a place to finally land
It's a beautiful confusion, this endless, winding maze
I don't know my final chapter, but I love these middle days
'Cause the fight is never ending, but I'm never gonna stop
Just a soul still swinging, aiming for the mountaintop.
[Verse 2]
I scroll through screens of perfection, they're so put-together neat
A curated life with a single purpose, walking down the street
I try to try their confidence on, it never seems to fit
It feels like acting out a role I'm just not ready yet to commit
I’ve got a hunger to be something, but the what is just a blur
I keep confusing passion with the thing that makes me sure.
[Pre-Chorus]
The engine's revving, the light is green, but I don't know the road
It's a heavy kind of freedom, this unpredictable load
They tell me to be patient, but the clock is ticking loud
And I'm tired of being the only cloud in a clear and sunny crowd.
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a blueprint undecided, a sketch still in the sand
A heart that’s always fighting for a place to finally land
It's a beautiful confusion, this endless, winding maze
I don't know my final chapter, but I love these middle days
'Cause the fight is never ending, but I'm never gonna stop
Just a soul still swinging, aiming for the mountaintop.
[Bridge]
Maybe the point isn't the finish line, but the breath between the strides
Maybe the strength is in the courage of a girl who's still in hiding inside
I don't need the answers right now, just the guts to take a leap
I'll keep gathering the pieces, promises I intend to keep.
(Guitar Solo - hopeful, building in intensity then dropping back to a reflective tone)
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a blueprint undecided, a sketch still in the sand
A heart that’s always fighting for a place to finally land
It's a beautiful confusion, this endless, winding maze
I don't know my final chapter, but I love these middle days
'Cause the fight is never ending, but I'm never gonna stop
Just a soul still swinging, aiming for the mountaintop.
[Outro]
Yeah, aiming for the top...
Just figuring it out, one little swing at a time...
(Fade out with a single, sustained acoustic guitar chord)
