lyrics

There comes a time you need to move on
Your tired of playing, the game’s too long
Take the plunge into the great unknown
Light a candle to lead you on

It’s time to grow, time to rearrange
You can’t forward without the strain
I’ve got to feel elation and fear
The mould sets firmer every year

Parting ways, letting go
Looking to the future
Breaking strings that hold me down
I leave them scattered on the ground

The earth is dry, I’m wilting in the sun
It kind of scares me what I’ve become
I’m gonna mark a line in the sand
I’m stepping over, take my hand

Parting ways, letting go
Looking to the future
Breaking strings that hold me down
I leave them scattered on the ground
No one knows what’s on the other side
Could be Hell or maybe a hell of a ride
It’s funny what one does for a sense of pride
Parting ways, letting go
Looking to the future
Breaking strings that hold me down
I leave them scattered on the ground
On the ground
On the ground
