Pays his dues, he'll play this game, go on a wild adventure through the open plains

Hoping he'll find a place he's never been, might as well cross the seas on hopes and dreams.

Horizon line is calling, could be rising but he's falling through the zone his for the taking.

It's hard to grow amongst the stones, yeah he's been holding up his own, but now his lionheart is aching.

He knows he has to speak it, but he built his house in secret (yeah).

How's he gonna reach it hidden in his weakness? Inner words he said:

Looking for a fair trade, in the hopes that I can live with the change.

Mess with my brain waves, if only I could live with the pain.

Caught in a fight that I've been losing, denying evolution, but right or wrong it's useless when you're dying all the same.

Looking for a fair trade, in the hopes that I can live for a change.

It'll be okay!

Pays his dues, he'll play some more, he's bout to reach his limit now he can't ignore, so every step he takes he takes it slow, because before you know it's time to go.

And keep on tryna work it out, let him buy himself a little more time.

Believe it might be worth it now, but he's crying out just give him a sign.

He knows he has to speak it, but he built his house in secret (yeah).

So how's he gonna reach it, skin of his teeth (yeah), solid gold regret:

Count all the steps that you've been pacing, don't it set your heart a-racing? Is there something you've been chasing?

No need to hold yourself in place the wind is blowing in our faces, could've sworn I felt it changing.

Don't be so scared you're gonna lose face, just know it's never too late to go and start a new game.

Get yourself out from underneath it, don't spend it all on regret, you only have to speak it.
