I always felt that it was wrong

To lay my world in foreign hands

So why'd it take so long

To find the strength to steal it back?

All that I once had and some much more

An open door so I can finally breathe again

All this weight should lift from every inch

It suffocates the way that I think

It somehow all becomes

Far from misfortuned destiny

Oh I've come to believe

That's the only way

To pass each day

Confined of feeling so empty

'Til now

I see a way out

And I can see the Sun on the horizon

But it's getting more and more distant, oh

Every time you turn and face away

I see a way out

And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed

Lord only knows where it's taking me

Lord only knows where it's taking me

And not so long ago I seem to think

That I had the whole thing figured out

Only to find myself

Trapped at the heart of someone else

But now I finally see the other side

And just in time before I let it pull me in again

I see a way out

And I can see the Sun on the horizon

But it's getting more and more distant, oh

Every time you turn and face away

I see a way out

And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed

Lord only knows where it's taking me

Lord only knows where it's taking me

And all new life must be born from the ashes

But I'm more than willing

To start again, to start again, oh

And all new life must be born from the ashes

But I'm more than willing

To start again, to start again, to start again

I see a way out

And I can see the Sun on the horizon

But it's getting more and more distant, oh

Every time you turn and face away

I see a way out

And I can hear an echo that begs to be followed

Lord only knows where it's taking me

Lord only knows where it's taking me
