Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Stuffed my fears In a backpack pocket Left that note On the kitchen table Front door creaked Like it knew my secret Morning air Tasted like a fable [Chorus] So I run into the unknown Heart like a compass Shaking but it still shows home Every mile I lose a skin Gain a bone I’m growing up But I’m not letting go I’m holding on to every wild-eyed Half-broke dream I own As I run Run into the unknown [Verse 2] Old dirt road Trading names for numbers Friends back home Say I’ve changed my colors Maybe I have Or maybe I just found them In every risk Where the ground feels thin [Chorus] So I run into the unknown Heart like a compass Shaking but it still shows home Every mile I lose a skin Gain a bone I’m growing up But I’m not letting go I’m holding on to every wild-eyed Half-broke dream I own As I run Run into the unknown [Bridge] Here’s to every door I shut Every bridge I didn’t burn Every time I almost stayed Then felt the planet turn If the future feels like falling I’ll still lean into the wind (oh oh) ’Cause every step I’m changing And changing’s how I begin [Chorus] So I run into the unknown Heart like a compass Shaking but it still shows home Every mile I lose a skin Gain a bone I’m growing up But I’m not letting go I’m holding on to every wild-eyed Half-broke dream I own As I run Run into the unknown
