She dreams of where she's never been
|
A story starts where it should end
|
She keeps a bible close
|
And folds the pages down she needs the most
|
|
Her faded walls are closing in
|
So in her head she leaves again
|
They've painted ceilings blue and green
|
And brilliant colors she's never seen
|
|
But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
|
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
|
Never be a winner if you're not in the game
|
And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe
|
Make a little space and get out of your own way
|
|
A ticket out sits on her shelf
|
And gathers dust upon itself
|
Cause chasing chance is for the brave
|
Maybe soon she'll feel that way
|
|
But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
|
And nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
|
Nothing ever happens if you don't get hurt
|
And nothing ever happens if you never get dirty
|
Make a little space and go on, get out, go on get out
|
|
Leave what you don't need
|
You're free and the pieces will fall into place
|
You and you only who can make a little space and
|
And get out of your own way
|
|
She sees the sunlight through the cracks
|
It's only her who holds her back
|
And so she takes her deepest breath
|
Shuts the door and walks down the steps
|
|
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
|
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
|
Never be a winner if you're not in the game
|
And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe
|
Make a little space and get out of your own
|
|
Oh, get out of your own way
|
Get out of your own way
|
Oh, get out of your own way
|
Get out of your own way
|
