Glen Ballard - Box lyrics

[Verse 1] I was living in a small mind With no lifeline And no messages can reach me from the outside When I looked out over the horizon Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising [Verse 2] Then it hit me Maybe bit me Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me I didn't know exactly where I would be going But I had to let this river in me flowing [Bridge] What a ride When you open your eyes For the very first time A real surprise [Chorus] I started living outside of the box Crossing over lines where I always used to stop Living outside of the box Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not I always knew this day would come When I got off my back, found some motivation I've been living on the other side Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive [Verse 3] I was living on a fault line The fault was all mine And this unstable ground found me down half the time But I had enough I had to get up I had to shrug it all off cause it's the same old stuff [Verse 4] Then it hit me You won't permit me To be an individual Just doesn't fit me But I decided that it's going to be living Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison What a high When you open your mind for the very first time A real surprise [Chorus] [Verse 5] So long conformity And ambiguality is a new priority All it takes, for heaven sakes Is to figure out the face and learn to separate [Chorus] I started living outside of the box Taking my time when I always used to rush Living outside of the box Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not I always knew this day would come When I broke down the walls for my liberation I've been living on the other side Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive [Bridge] Oh, living outside of the box Oh, living outside of the box Oh, living outside Ha ha ha I always knew this day would come When I got off my back, found some motivation [Outro] Oh, living outside of the box Of the box, of your life Of everything that seems nice
