A song about getting away from toxic people in a small town, dealing with changes and breaking out of your comfort zone.
lyrics
Verse 1:
One Two Three Four Five Six/
Can you feel the unrest/
Ive been dying to live/
Cant you see that I am/
So we'll waltz through this dance/
because i wrote this in six/
Ive been dying to tell you/
I need something that's not you/
Chorus:
And the safe part is the bottom/
climbing up is what's really the problem/
All these fears well, i forgot them/
All these tears must mean Im growing up/
Verse 2:
We still live here in this town/
when i look you are still around/
so if youre just so pure/
and if youre so divine/
Why are you still here?
Chorus
Bridge:
Why trade these fears when they're all of my friends/
Why trade these tears when i know what they meant/
Chorus
