lyrics
Making plans is like drawing blood from a stone
Helping me out from under the rock I call my home
Whether the past will forge the road ahead or if I let this desire come crashing down
Is of my own design
With every day I’m starting to lift the weight of the world
I don’t wanna be trapped in ancient thoughts
Even while I’m wide awake my dreams are spinning out of my control
And I don’t want to forget or let go
There is a fork in the road
The city lights play on my face and I think of home
Making plans is like drawing blood from a stone
Helping me out from under the rock I call my home
I feel like there’s an open wound and ideas are spilling out like dreams of old
The city lights play on my face and I think of home
And I wish I wasn’t afraid
Helping me out from under the rock I call my home
Whether the past will forge the road ahead or if I let this desire come crashing down
Is of my own design
With every day I’m starting to lift the weight of the world
I don’t wanna be trapped in ancient thoughts
Even while I’m wide awake my dreams are spinning out of my control
And I don’t want to forget or let go
There is a fork in the road
The city lights play on my face and I think of home
Making plans is like drawing blood from a stone
Helping me out from under the rock I call my home
I feel like there’s an open wound and ideas are spilling out like dreams of old
The city lights play on my face and I think of home
And I wish I wasn’t afraid
