Lyrics
We've been friends since California 2005
Still living like our lives are on the line
You went to the mountains, I landed by the sea
Still fighting the same battles we did at 23
Tired of running circles round in our heads
Trying to understand things that never made sense
Keep telling me girl I wanna be myself
In a world that wants us to be something else...something else
So, let's break it
Refuse to take it
Yeah let that fire burn out...let it burn out the fear that tames us
Yeah I know it hurts and I know it's hard, and yes we could lose it all
But if we're really gonna live, really gonna live, really gonna live
We gotta risk the fall
18 years of doing all the right things
But nobody's listening, nobody sees
Can't seem to find a place that really feels like home
Just aching for a moment to feel like we belong
We feel like cheetahs yet we're living in fear
The cages around us keep us dying here
I know we didn't get the love that we need
It makes us question our worth and all our dreams...all our dreams
So, let's break it
Refuse to take it
Yeah let that fire burn out...let it burn out the fear that tames us
Yeah I know it hurts and I know it's hard, and yes we could lose it all
But if we're really gonna live, really gonna live, really gonna live
We gotta risk the fall
The day is new
It's our choice now
What are we gonna do
With nothing holding us down?
So, let's break it
Refuse to take it
Yeah let that fire burn out...let it burn out the fear that tames us
Yeah I know it hurts and I know it's hard, and yes we could lose it all
But if we're really gonna live, really gonna live, really gonna live
We gotta risk the fall
But if we're really gonna live, really gonna live, really gonna live
We gotta risk the fall
