lyrics

I've been going down the same old road
Waiting for a sign that things'll change
And I've been floating but it's time for me to go
I've gotta find a way to change my fate

I wanna go up and not just onward
I wanna go through not just pass by
I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight
I wanna feel something more than nothing
I wanna be worthy of this life
I wanna do the things they told me not to try
Not to try

I've been hurting from cuts that run so deep
Trying to do the right thing so they mend
And I've been working, but the hours that I keep
Are causing me to constantly defend

I wanna go up and not just onward
I wanna go through not just pass by
I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight
I wanna feel something more than nothing
I wanna be worthy of this life
I wanna do the things they told me not to try
Not to try
Not to try

I wanna go up and not just onward
I wanna go through not just pass by
I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight
I wanna feel something more than nothing
I wanna be worthy of this life
I wanna do the things they told me not to try
Not to try
