1.
No one caught my face against the glass My frozen five speed laying on the grass I never knew that their voices could be that loud and cross I rode against the wind till I got lost Well maybe I'm shaping up To something I can be proud of Come springtime I'll be running around With what's left of the down and out I ran with rough boys tough as any men We held our arms high and coward every threat When they finally asked me are you in or are you out I pushed out my chest and hid my doubt It was too much to ever understand Strangers all held out their strongest hand Watching both of my makers from guardian to ground I'm gonna stay alive till I go down

Motorcade 03:49
I've got the feeling I'm about to learn the difference Between being young and acting more my age You took your heart out and trusted me to hold it I'd turn the table on you if they weren't bolted My oh my what a mess I've made Lock me up in the back of a motorcade When the road runs out of signs Let me out and I'll go give it another try I'm on the blacklist traded my clothes for kindling What was the point with what your eyes can see You call me a skeptic of everything you hold dear And banished me out to the road well at least they know me here You've been holding to the widespread belief That you'd be rewarded for every virtue you keep Don't let me make you think that's foolish to believe
3.
Show me your smile I could carry you for miles and miles and miles You're lighter than air A billion more of me and no one would be scared Everybody else I'm sorry to say Was much too much too far for me to take I heard it all The crack of the branch and every inch to fall A world away I was finding reason after reason after reason to stay Talk slower I'm trying to make out all the names My shoulders All covered up in praise and blame
4.
I'm headstrong lately and you can't make me act another way Swallow your words they're testing my will to stay Walk the valley when you're without me and I think you'll find There's nothing but black in the baggage you leave behind Nobody follow me You'll most likely raise arms to fight me every move I make Leave all the blame this is not your mistake It feels harder but you'll go farther than you've ever been When you realize the peace in never hearing my voice again
5.
I'm losing my color now I wish I'd known you when I was good and green But I'm dancing deep down inside I’m proud of all the follies that made me real Never write in stone You'll leave nowhere to go You find what you're made of When the world stands you up Give me shroud from head to toe Oh it will be romantic when I hit ocean Then catch wind and drop the reins Now carry every low like a small step forward
