It's a formidable shift to a new destination
Taking shape before I see the change
A scatter plot of indiscernible visions
I seek to know but I can't see the way
And how I wish I could say I was feeling unafraid
But I can't see my life without you
And there's a person in me who's trying to be seen
So I'll try and stand my ground
Cause I can't
Let go without control
This rope just holds me down
And I can't break free
From this version of me
When this rope, it holds me down
An indescribable lift out of what feels familiar
Can't hold on to things that keep me safe
But on this road I'm moving to something bigger
I'm breaking open and I see the way
And how I wish I could say I was feeling unafraid
When I start to see my life without you
But there's a person in me who's trying to be seen
So I'm gonna stand my ground
Cause I can't
Let go
Without control
This rope just holds me down
And I can't
Break free
From this version of me
When this rope, it holds me down
I'm in forward motion
It hurts to leave this behind
And I didn't notice
The tether came untied
I'm in forward motion
And I cant apologize
I can only thank my future self
I'll let go
I'll let go
I'll let go
Cause I can't
Let go
Without control
This rope just holds me down
And I can't
Break free
From this version of me
When this rope, it holds me down
Don't hold me down
Don't hold me down
I'm in forward motion
And I didn't notice
I'm in forward motion
I'm in forward motion
It hurts to leave this behind
And I didn't notice
The tether came untied
I'm in forward motion
And I cant apologize
I can only thank my
Future self
