19

Standing here 19 years
Through tempers and haircuts
I'm back at square 1
With nowhere to go, but out

Standing here 19 years later
Found out I've never stood before
Realized I've never lived
Concluded to I've never smiled

The rest of my life
Is waiting on me
Wave goodbye to the past 18 years
19 and beyond is waiting

Standing here, all of 19
Shallow dreams and fears
Have shown me my promise
To go out and be nothing but.. 19
