Verse:
Time is moving slower and I still cant seem
To stitch the scars of my past and stop bleeding
This isn't a drill, no more until
We gotta do what makes us fulfilled.
With a one track mind we don't know how to slow down.
It scares the life out of them that this is what we still want.
At least we have faith in something.
Chorus:
These are maps of my dreams since I was sixteen
Without them I'd be lost.
There's no turning back from here for me.
Eyes forward always.
Verse:
When one road closes
sometimes you have to find
Reasons worth taking side streets,
(And then you need to believe!)
If the front door locks shut
on everything you've known;
Find a window, pry it open, and start over.
Just start over.
We try! we fail! we learn!
Chorus:
These are maps of my dreams since I was sixteen
Without them I'd be lost.
There's no turning back from here for me.
Eyes forward always.
Bridge:
It's time to stand up and make my fate.
It's like waking up from the same dream
but in real life.
Make no mistake this time,
I'm alive.
Look,
if your going forward,
how are you supposed to get there,
When your head is down?
Traveling these maps with you,
means everything.
The best part to me
Is were not even
halfway there!
Chorus:
These are maps of my dreams since I was sixteen
Without them I'd be lost.
There's no turning back from here for me.
Eyes forward always.
These are maps of my dreams since I was sixteen
Without them I'd be lost.
There's no turning back from here for me.
Eyes forward always.
