Baby Moonracer - Brand New Life Lyrics

Solo again, guess that's just my speed
And if I could be an optimist, I'm finally free
How do I always find myself in this place
I'm overthinking and drinking
Get me out of this head space

Maybe this time, it really is me
I'm getting older and feel like I'm always starting over and over
Think about it though, it ain't that bad
I can take some time to learn myself and maybe unpack
Everything I've heard life's really about
Write a novel, learn to paint, just get out of the house
Or maybe I could climb a mountain, cross an ocean or two
You know, I've always heard the weather's quite good in Peru
Or maybe I could switch it up and take a flight up north
Wrestle mountain lions, be an outdoorsman of sorts
I could be anybody I want, how about that
I'm loading up the Honda and I'm not looking back

So long darling, say goodbye
I'm packing up my things, start a Brand New Life

Fast forward to the present, but I'm not done yet
It's been a roller coaster man, a life full of regrets
Went and wagered my whole life and I almost lost
Lots of lonely night spent in the depths of thought

Second-guessing all my moves like an aimless pawn
Sometimes feeling kinda helpless with what's going on
All in all, in the end, I hope it all works out
Two hands up in air after my heavyweight bout, yeah

Made the leap to the City of Dreams
Fell in love with the lights, energy and the game
When you make it in this city, it's a banner of pride
No other city on earth can you say you've truly arrived
It's the big leagues now son, you better beware
So many people try to make it man, aren't you scared?
Hell yes I am, man, I'm terrified
But it's the fear of being nobody that makes me thrive

So long darling, say goodbye
I'm packing up my things, start a Brand New Life
So long, you won't see me again
I'm half way cross the country now, my life begins

I know people tend to worry when there's distance involved
Although I might disagree and show them how I've evolved
I left a lot behind, and some things I regret
Just keep pushing forward, but don't ever forget

About the people who inspired you and helped set you free
Create, write, love and prosper
And you gotta believe

So long darling, say goodbye
I'm packing up my things, start a Brand New Life
So long, you won't see me again
I'm half way cross the country now, my life begins

So long darling, say goodbye
I'm packing up my things, start a Brand New Life
