I've always been on the run
And I thought I could chase the sun
Without breaking its heart
The truth is when all is said and done
It was over before we even started, yeah
I told you I'm not afraid
And you said, "I wish I could feel the same
But I won't have a friend"
The truth is you are to leave this town, girl
Don't ever look back
And keep your head in the clouds
That's why you're beautiful
Go, see how far you can reach
And baby, don't look back
Until you get exactly what you need
'Cause there's no shine of your possibilities
So baby, don't come back
Until you get exactly what you need
You won't find it in here
I'm finally here and I'm living a dream
And I'm playing the part of a star on the screen
It's crazy we see things for what they've been
I keep asking myself, "Is this really happening to me?"
He told me, go, see how far you can reach
And baby, don't look back
Until you get exactly what you need
'Cause there's no shine of your possibilities
So baby, don't come back
Until you get exactly what you need
You won't find it in here
No matter what you believe
My mother is full of grace
And my daddy still lives at the same old place
At the side of the hill, on the corner of town
The days are still long and the roads are dusty
It's been a full year but I come home when I can
But now I need to go, see how far I can reach
And I'm not coming back
Until I get exactly what I need
'Cause there is no shine of your possibilities
And God, right now I'm asking
Won't you give me something to believe?
I need to but now I need to
Go, see how far I can reach
I'm not looking back
Until I get exactly what I need
'Cause there is no shine of your possibilities
Baby, don't come back
Until you get exactly what you need
You will find all you need
But you've got to believe
I've always been on the road
And I, I thought I could chase the song
