I used to be afraid of you
Afraid of what you would do
Then I realized I was scared of me, too
Scared of what I wouldn't do or
Scared of what I couldn't do
But I owe nothing to the night
No more pressure, no more fight
A little less dark, a little more light
A little less bark, a little more bite
I'm faster than my fastest self (feet are on the ground)
Stacking on the cards I'm dealt (turning it around)
So trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
Now I'm up on the highest high
They're watching as I take flight
And it kinda feels nice to be getting things right
No more "what I wouldn't do" and
No more "what I couldn't do"
'Cause I owe nothing to today
All my pressure's gone away
A little less blame, a little less tame
A little less same, a little more change
Faster than my fastest self
Stacking on the cards I'm dealt
Trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
Faster than my fastest self
Quicker than you ever thought
Was possible and that's no lie
I'm waking up to see the light
So trip me I'll still slip away
Trap me I'll get out the cage
Catch me and I'll breakaway
Finally made my great escape
