lyrics

There is a long road between us
I thought the space would help me grow
As a person, as a daughter
I find myself, I find myself
In it all sometimes, contemplating life
I’m trying to figure out why, people run from things
Why I’m running, why I
Thought I needed space to feel
Like I’m living, like I’m living

I thought I needed safety
I built it up, I built it up, now it’s breaking
I’m trying to figure out why, my heart is hurting
While I’m growing, learning
I thought I needed to change to feel
Like I was living, like I was living

But I’m changing the walls around me
There’s something in the fear of leaving
I’m changing the walls around me
And I’m left here standing

The walls are changing
Colours shifting
Time is folding
In two

I’m changing the walls around me
There’s something in the fear of leaving
I’m changing the walls around me
And I’m left here standing
