Lyrics
Jump The Tracks by Liz Rachel Walker
(Verse 1)
This year's gone by, left new lines, round your eyes
You're caught in a trap, stuck on a path, oh
Life's a runaway train that you sit and watch
You think it's movin' so fast, that you can't step off, oh
(Pre-Chorus)
It's not too late
You've still got time
(Chorus)
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, do what you really wanna do
Steel yourself to people's looks, live by your own rules
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, let go of all that you don't need
Keep close what you love, know who you want to be
(Verse 2)
Are you afraid of shaky ground, oh
of falling hard and staying down, oh
Make mistakes and dust yourself off
Just try, give it a try, before the day, is lost
(Pre-Chorus)
It's not too late
You've still got time
(Chorus)
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, do what you really wanna do
Steel yourself to people's looks, live by your own rules
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, let go of all that you don't need
Keep close what you love, know who you want to be
(Bridge)
It's up to you
Up to you
It's up to you
Up to you
(Chorus)
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, do what you really wanna do
Steel yourself to people's looks, live by your own rules
Jump the tracks, shift that gear, let go of all that you don't need
Keep close what you love, know who you want to be
