(Verse 1)
The photos on the wall are peeling at the edges
Like promises we made on backyard benches
Wearing a smile, that's not convincing at all
Just a ghost in your life, dead from the fall
This town used to feel like a kingdom we built
Now, it’s just abandoned with guilt.
Nodding my head while you talk about the "glory days"
I’m already gone, lost in this confusing maze
(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m tired of playing the part
Of the kid with the perfect heart
The map is torn, the compass is spinning
I need a new beginning!
(Chorus)
Pack the car and don’t look back!
Burn the script and fade to black!
I’m running away from the life I used to love
From the pedestal I’m ready to be pushed off of
Yeah, it was great, but great isn't enough anymore
I’m kicking down the hinges of a different door
(Verse 2)
Everyone’s moving in a straight, blurred line
Checking their watches, saying everything is fine.
But, I’m the glitch in the system, the crack in the glass
A middle-lane driver letting everyone pass
I used to think this zip code was the center of the earth
Now I’m questioning what staying here is actually worth
(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m tired of playing the part
Of the kid with the perfect heart
The map is torn, the compass is spinning
I need a new beginning!
(Chorus)
Pack the car and don’t look back!
Burn the script and fade to black!
I’m running away from the life I used to love
From the pedestal I’m ready to be pushed off of
Yeah, it was great, but great isn't enough anymore
I’m kicking down the hinges of a different door
(Bridge)
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
I’M OUT OF TIME
This isn't a phase, it's a desperate escape
Tearing the seams of this pre-recorded tape!
START! OVER! RIGHT! NOW!
I’M GONE!
(Outro)
The rearview mirror looks better than the view ahead...
Maybe I'll find a safe place to lay my head
RESET!
REWIND!
