lyrics

I’m saving up my strength to lift this off my shoulders
But I’m just carrying excuses now
I’m weaker and I’m older
But I swear if I had learned to dance in a way that doesn’t make you laugh
You’d remember my name as something more than some thrown away number

I drag my feet to every party because I’m afraid I might end up going
And facing the impossible responses to questions about what kind of music my band plays
Or what I want to do when I grow up
Grow out of these old skate shoes
Or this old shirt that fits me better now than it did back in grade school
When the world seemed more open to a compromise with my ridiculous dreams
Those doors are quickly closing

Let’s tear these walls down and run away
Let’s tear these walls down and run away
From safe inside it all makes sense
But we’re starved for confidence
Let’s tear these fucking walls down and run away

It’s taken two decades and change to see
We might not fit in with this scene
But maybe that’s what we needed
To realize what we’ve been missing

Let’s tear these walls down and run away
Let’s tear these walls down and run away
Let’s tear these walls down and run away
Let’s tear these walls down and run away
From safe inside it all makes sense
We’re starved for confidence
Let’s tear these fucking walls down and run away
