Stick Around
Chasing Dreams: Embracing Change and Defying Expectations
Lyrics
They'll pin you down early
Early expectations and judgments are imposed on you by others.
Write the story before you know
Create a narrative about yourself before fully understanding your desires.
Never bother asking
Discourage inquiries into your true desires.
What it is you really want
Questioning what you genuinely want is not a priority.
You found a dream
Discover a passion or aspiration.
A fire inside your bones
Feel a burning desire within yourself.
In a box of records
Among a collection of records, representing the past and influences.
Knew you had to go
Realize the need to break away from the familiar.
You couldn't stick around
Leaving or not staying in one place.
It's hard to be yourself in your hometown
Difficulty in expressing your true self in the place where you grew up.
Swore you'd make it out
Promise to escape from the current situation.
You couldn't stick around
Choosing not to stay or settle.
You left 'em all wondering
Leave others in curiosity and uncertainty about your departure.
You had to follow your heart
Follow your emotions and passions.
Barely 20 years old
At a young age, seeking a fresh beginning.
Looking for a new start
Looking for a new opportunity.
Held your hopes so high
Maintain high aspirations and dreams.
Swinging hard for the fence
Pursue your goals with determination.
You wonder if you've made it yet
Reflect on whether you have achieved your goals.
Just remember why you left
Recall the reasons for leaving your previous life.
You couldn't stick around
Choosing not to remain in one place.
It's hard to be yourself in your hometown
Struggling to express your true self in your place of origin.
Swore you'd make it out
Commitment to breaking free from your current circumstances.
You couldn't stick around
Opting not to settle in a specific location.
You wanna make it worth it
Desire to make the journey and efforts meaningful.
The blood, sweat, and tears
Acknowledging the dedication and hard work invested.
See the time for something
Recognizing the need for something more valuable than wasted time.
More than wasted years
Find purpose beyond the years spent without fulfillment.
You found your song
Discover a personal anthem that represents you.
You still sing it now
Continuing to embrace and express your unique identity.
They wouldn't believe it if they
Others might find it hard to believe in your current state.
Could see you now
Reflecting on the contrast between past perceptions and current reality.
You couldn't stick around
Choosing not to stay in one place.
You found yourself in a new town
Finding a new sense of self in a different location.
Boy, look at you now
Reflecting on the transformation and growth achieved.
You're gonna stick around
Expressing the intention to remain and thrive.
