I've never felt this way before For the first time I'm not striving, fighting to survive And this tattoo is just a mark of where I once left my heart on my sleeve But now it's back inside my chest and I am whole, I am complete If I gave up all my stories I'd have nothing left to hold me down Oh, like standing in the center of a compass Each direction open to me now If I gave up all my reasons That I had for staying and for skipping town I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I I'd be unbound I've never felt this way before For the first time I'm not searching for something beyond me I can't see And the memories are just memories and they're gone like ash in the breeze And I am whole, I am complete If I gave up all my stories I'd have nothing left to hold me down Oh, like standing in the center of a compass Each direction open to me now If I gave up all my reasons That I had for staying and for skipping town I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I I'd be unbound If I gave up all my stories I'd have nothing left to hold me down Oh, like standing in the center of a compass Each direction open to me now If I gave up all my reasons That I had for staying and for skipping town I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I I'd be unbound
