lyrics

I know it feels
Like you’re out on the line
A burned out gifted kid
With a mind like a diamond
You missed the boat for prodigy
As the years unwind
But I promise you
You’re gonna be just fine

You heard over and over
You’re gonna do something wild
They’ll have your name engraved
On a sidewalk tile
But the lights went out
Like you did and I promise you
You’re gonna be just fine

Cause you don’t owe
Anyone any part of this life
You are not behind

You can lie
with all the lights turned out
Feel the walls caving in
With the weight of your doubt
I can drive
the whole route to your house
Every sharp right turn
I’ve memorized it all by now

You don’t owe anyone any part of this life
You are not behind
Hands on your chest unravel your fears
Let the ground cry out you’re already here
You’re alive
You are not behind

Put your hand on your chest
Just to feel yourself breathe
Look for every shade of emerald
In the backyard apple tree
You can trust the ground beneath you
You can trust the good you find
Now that you can shed the perfect
You can finally be fine

‘Cause you don’t owe anyone any part of this life
You are not behind
Hands on your chest unravel your fears
Let the ground cry out you’re already here
You’re alive
You are not behind

You don’t spend your days
with your name in lights
But you’ve been busy, I know
Building your own life
