Go the Distance

from First Minds by Simon Pyke & James Buttery

/

lyrics

I let myself go there for a while 
I Didn’t pay attention to what I needed to
Lost in my own head with my heart on the floor
Convinced I wasn’t worthy of what this life is for
Too much time distracted I couldn’t focus on
to what the world was yelling in my face
What a silly boy gotten in a state
and then retracting, that was my mistake 

I had to spend some time there (wasting too much time there)
in my quiet despair

I had to fix myself so I could live again
So I could I see myself living in the real world
Hearing my own words sounding like a person
With something to say
This is My resurrection 
now I fly away in the right direction
No longer hanging on to what has died away 
I am Born again its been a long time coming 
Now I feel this way
I have found the answer
to what I’m searching for
Not giving up too fast
Like I’ve done before
only looking forward

I had to go the distance 
For me to feel a difference
