about

A song about mental health and the pursuit of happiness.

lyrics

This city’s always been so cold
A chill that you can't shake
You dream about the golden coast
All fed up and got no reason to stay

Loading up a suitcase
Running down the staircase
Throw yourself in his car
Don’t look back cuz you know you won’t get too far
Nothing left to retrace
Now you’ve got a blank space
Fill it up with your dreams
Gotta get away ‘cause you’re breaking at the seams

Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Had to get away to free my mind (for the first time)
Starting over and leaving you behind!

Trading out a brand new life
A higher price to pay
You're pressing on the edge of a knife
Tread a path, a moth drawn to a flame?

Now you’re in the fast lane
Cruising like a freight train
Sitting back in his car
Never looked back, they’ll say you’ve gone too far
Nothing left to retrace
Filling up the blank space
Write it out with your dreams
Never hold back since you’ve broken through the seams.

Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Had to get away to free my mind (for the first time)
Starting over and leaving you behind!

Hearing other sides
Catch you in a lie
Don’t blame me for second-guessing
Take a chance this time
Without you on my mind
Can’t blame me to write the ending

Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Had to get away to free my mind (for the last time)
Starting over and leaving you behind!
