life of leaving home

i can see all the footsteps left behind

every second i gave

every song was a snapshot of my life

i needed something to say

started out in the last slow motion scene

watching everyone change

made a map of a one-way road from here

had no reason to stay

i am awake and alive

there is something calling me

more than a moment in time

it's a dream i'm following

on my own

more than a moment in time

it's a life of leaving home

think of me when the stars come out tonight

take a look at the sky

never said that i could burn out that bright

but i needed to try

i am awake and alive

there is something calling me

more than a moment in time

it's a dream i'm following

on my own

more than a moment in time

it's a life of leaving home

the day that i found my voice

i knew that i had no choice

the only way i'd ever learn to love

is if i found it

on my own

i am awake and alive

there is something calling me

more than a moment in time

it's a dream i'm following

on my own

more than a moment in time

it's a life of leaving home

more than a moment in time

it's a life of leaving home
