Verse 1:
Watch me while I'm rising
Raise your expectation high
Since I left the city lights
I've been lost inside my own mind
And I wonder why that is?
My creativity and poetry came back
In the blink of an eye
Chorus:
And now I see the world, full of colors I've never seen
I've searched for long, now I chase a road, brighter than my wildest dreams
It's just me, myself and I - has it ever felt so right?
Honestly I think that I, I don't even miss her
All the pictures I erased
Where you used to see my face
They all look blurier than a haze
Since I left the city lights, I've grown in many ways
I became someone else - one that's more like myself
Verse 2:
Drowning in chaos, it made me feel so lazy
Then I started climbing waterfalls like they're small trees
I'd barely clean my room back then
I found a peace I never knew I needed
By listening to my mind instead of my feelings
Since I left the city lights, I've been so amazed
By the person I've become - I used to be afraid
Bridge:
Once I left the city lights, inside I felt a haze
An emptiness so full, yet open like the sky
Since you left me all alone, a bird inside a cage
A rush of feelings flooding in - impossible to deny
Inspiration rains on me - may it never fade away
Drifting down a silver river - with a smile upon my face
Since I left the city lights, life hasn't been the same
Ambitious and so grateful -
For what's to come, I'm unafraid
Chorus:
And now I see this world full of colors I've never seen
I've searched for long, now I chase a road - brighter than my wildest dreams
It's just me, myself and I, it has never felt so right
Honestly I think that I, I'm better off this way
The streets that we lived in
Chances we were given
I'm glad they're all wasted
(These avenues changed me)
Since I left the city lights, life hasn't been the same
I'm ready for the world - it's mine to embrace
Outro:
From who I was to who I am now,
These streets, these lights, these bridges
They shaped who I am today
This town owes me what I earned
