The Story So Far Lyrics - Singles - We Are The Movies

When I was 17 no they never used to call me by name 

Or let me know that I had a part in all of these decisions 

That I thought somebody would make 

So I ran oh they shoved it down my throat 

Always stand in line only take what's given 

My decisions are my own 

I'm sick of being under you 

I tried to take the high road 

But I already know where it goes 

So I guess I'll take my chances down below 

Cause I'm better off on my own

[Chorus:] 

Time, oh you always drag me down 

Pull my head under the water I can't breathe 

I'll try but this ocean's sinking in 

Treading water trying to get back to where it all began 

I stand alone 

Fast forward 23 staring out of the window of this hotel 

My friends with their college degrees 

Slowly making their way back home 

I've made my own and it's broken down 

Another 3 years go by not wasted 

So I'll keep hanging tight cause 

We're nowhere near the finish and it's getting better every night 

I should be thanking you for everything 

I had to make it on my own 

So i could only have myself to blame 

Photos 

So you can take the high road 

Cause I'm good right here 

And I'll be waiting for you when you get here 

Cause I'm better off on my own
