Lyric

Small scars on my heart, growing day by day

Don’t know when it started, can’t point to the place

I thought I was unbreakable, always doing fine

Now my big old heart is shrinking out of sight

Oh, life never goes the way I think it will

All my little plans refuse to sit still

Stop and go, stop and go

Life won’t obey, I already know

Stop and go, stop and go

One small step I’m scared to show

Thought I’d stay unshakable, always okay

Now I watch my courage slowly fade away

I scroll through the text, hear voices in my ear

Nothing really hits me, nothing lands in here

I call it self-protection, but it’s just a wall

Keeping every heartbeat distant, till I feel too small

Oh, life never goes the way I think it should

If I could switch my nature, maybe I could

Stop and go, stop and go

Life won’t obey, I already know

Stop and go, stop and go

Waiting for a sign to tell me “go”

Someday… one day… maybe tomorrow…

That’s the line I always borrow

I bite my tongue, afraid to say

What I can’t picture going my way

Stop and go, stop and go

Life won’t obey, but I still hope so

Stop and go, stop and go

Use this shame to turn me slow

Stop and go, stop and go

Lift my feet up off the floor

Stop and go, stop and go

Maybe I can be a little more

Just one breath…

Then I go…
