Distance Over Safety

Heading up north Away from all I know Texas behind me Anything goes We've said our goodbyes Feeling unprepared All that's unfamiliar Comes and it goes I need to know what it's like I need to feel something more Feeling unsure Scared to feel alone Nothing is certain Taking a chance Not running away Only moving on I'm one of the mad ones Dare to dream big I need to know what it's like I need to feel something more I've cleared the sleep from my eyes I'll write my own history I've spent my whole life unsure Not knowing what lies ahead It's time I've traced and read every line I've loved and lost many times Move on Seventeen miles Outside Illinois Feeling uneasy Not letting go It's twenty below My lungs hurt all the time Scars they remind me How far we've come
