Lyrics
I've never felt this way before
I am experiencing a new and unfamiliar emotion
For the first time I'm not striving, fighting to survive
For the first time, I am not struggling to survive
And this tattoo is just a mark of where I once left my heart on my sleeve
The tattoo represents a past experience where I was vulnerable, but now I've moved on
But now it's back inside my chest and I am whole, I am complete
I've healed, and I feel whole and complete
If I gave up all my stories
If I let go of my past experiences
I'd have nothing left to hold me down
I would lose all the things that anchor me
Oh, like standing in the center of a compass
Similar to being at the center of a compass, I have many directions open to me
Each direction open to me now
I have a multitude of choices and possibilities
If I gave up all my reasons
If I abandon all my justifications
That I had for staying and for skipping town
The reasons I had for staying or leaving would no longer define me
I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I
I would become undefined and limitless
I'd be unbound
I would be free and unrestrained
I've never felt this way before
I am experiencing a new and unfamiliar emotion (repeated)
For the first time I'm not searching for something beyond me I can't see
For the first time, I am not seeking something beyond my understanding
And the memories are just memories and they're gone like ash in the breeze
Memories are just memories, and they no longer affect me
And I am whole, I am complete
I've healed, and I feel whole and complete (repeated)
If I gave up all my stories
If I let go of my past experiences (repeated)
I'd have nothing left to hold me down
I would lose all the things that anchor me (repeated)
Oh, like standing in the center of a compass
Similar to being at the center of a compass, I have many directions open to me (repeated)
Each direction open to me now
I have a multitude of choices and possibilities (repeated)
If I gave up all my reasons
If I abandon all my justifications (repeated)
That I had for staying and for skipping town
The reasons I had for staying or leaving would no longer define me (repeated)
I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I
I would become undefined and limitless (repeated)
I'd be unbound
I would be free and unrestrained (repeated)
If I gave up all my stories
If I let go of my past experiences (repeated)
I'd have nothing left to hold me down
I would lose all the things that anchor me (repeated)
Oh, like standing in the center of a compass
Similar to being at the center of a compass, I have many directions open to me (repeated)
Each direction open to me now
I have a multitude of choices and possibilities (repeated)
If I gave up all my reasons
If I abandon all my justifications (repeated)
That I had for staying and for skipping town
The reasons I had for staying or leaving would no longer define me (repeated)
I'd be undefined, limitless, oh I
I would become undefined and limitless (repeated)
I'd be unbound
I would be free and unrestrained (repeated)
