There's nothing here to see
We're as plain as can be
9-5, classroom-smart
& a loving family
But we got off that road
(That road)
To build a bridge over the norm
(The norm)
'Cause doing what we were told
Was getting us kinda bored
So we built our own road
From nothing but our hopes
Our own road
Measured by music notes
Sneakers worn & some hearts torn
We couldn't turn back around
(Around)
We left home for the open road
And got lost in the sound
(Lost in this sound)
We've been lost in thought without a map
Compass broke we're never going back
(F*ck)
Anchored here for more than awhile
We set sail, to end their denial
Every time I leave it drives you crazy
You know that i feel the same way baby
But I've been working at this for oh so long
Stared down a road that was oh so hazy
We hit the lights and drove out the lazy
Came all this way just to sing our dead-end songs
(It's been so long)
Own road
From nothing but our hopes
Our own road
Measured by music notes
Sneakers worn & some hearts torn
We couldn't turn back around
(Around)
We left home for the open road
And got lost in the sound
(Lost in this sound)
Forever this will be the life we lead
Forever this will be the life we lead
Forever this will be the life we lead
Forever this will be the life we lead!
Own road
From nothing but our hopes
Our own road
Measured by music notes
Sneakers worn and some hearts torn
We couldn't turn back around
(Around)
We left home for the open road
And got lost in this sound
(Lost in this sound)
We're lost!
We're lost!
We're lost!
In the sound
