V1: Fire in his tongue
as blazing as his hair
Piercing truth
comes forth from his mouth
intense as the storm in his eyes
Anger that smacked me to attention
Chorus: And the brother shook me awake!
I don't wanna be the same anymore
And the brother shattered me on the ground!
I don't want to stay in the same place
And the brother's rage urges me to
Make a move to grow up and be an adult
I'm movin' on out of my folks' home
I'm flyin' out of the nest!
August 2015, will be a time of change
And I will be confident and stand on my own
I never want to push
a friend away the same way again!
V2: Desires for adventure
Nervous peace I don't know
How to say
How ready I am
to fly as far as the winds flies
A gentle nudge and then I'm free!
Chorus 2x
