lyrics

I'll never crack under pressure, I swore, but now the heat is on
and I'm drowning in the rush of all my thoughts.
I'll never be tied down, I said to myself but now I only whisper, wishing I was out on my own.

Oh, I can feel anticipation running through my veins.
So, let's hit the road and take hold of what I've been chasing
No I can't be dreaming, cause I can hear the breathing of our hope through this song, the soundtrack of your stereo.

In the back of my head I remember what you said when I was young, it's time to put these words to rest.
"Son, you've got to keep it strong. The world will laugh and you will fall, but you'll get up and stare them in the face."

We've got these hearts of gold and our minds made up,
and our headlights are pointed to the west.

Oh, I can feel anticipation running through my veins.
So, let's hit the road and take hold of what I've been chasing
No I can't be dreaming, cause I can hear the breathing of our hope through this song, the soundtrack of your stereo.

I've been scaling these castle walls for too damn long.
And all of this time I've just been learning to fall with a sense of grace and dignity.
And I'm still falling.

Oh, I can feel anticipation running through my veins.
So, let's hit the road and take hold of what I've been chasing
No I can't be dreaming, cause I can hear the breathing of our hope through this song, the soundtrack of your stereo.
