Cleaning the house when a shoebox fell
I stood face to face with my youngin self
Covered in dust, my old ID
A buzzcut kid with no idea
He shared my name but he couldn't have known the road that lay open
Lay wide open
So just drive
Pack it up and move it for while
Even in the dark times everything grows
And inside - a battle like a raging fire
Holding to a past life I need to let go
I need to let go
I dwell on the words I'd tell that kid
He got further along than some folks did
But I'd tell him get used to being alone
When your whole life gets to feeling like the timing's wrong
So clear the way and I'll make some time when it gets realistic
But, I won't blame you if you don't wanna wait
And if I stayed, the tethers alone may break me wide open
So I stay open
And I just drive
Pack it up and move it for while
Even in the dark times everything grows
And inside - a battle like a raging fire
Holding to a past life I need to let go
It's a long life, having lived through a quarter
I realized what's important
And these eyes, well they stay open - they stay wide open
And I just drive
Pack it up and move it for while
Even in the dark times everything grows
And inside - a battle like a raging fire
Holding to a past life I need to let go
I need to let go
