Run Into the Unknown

[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
