[Verse 1: Jarod Glawe]
Life is so good right now
I wanna take you back
To recognize the good
You gotta know the bad
Back to a time where I was really sad
I'm not there no more
So yea, you bet I'm glad
A time where I acted mad
Cause of what I no longer had
The insecurity and immaturity of a young lad
Characterized the characteristics of me
Just egotistic
Didn't understand the future
So I acted like I missed it
But that's for later on
For now let's look at the sun
Cause below that is everyone
And I am someone
Who's livin' day by day
Just lookin' for fun
And I no longer feel like life's a competition
That's gotta be won
Cause if I'm happy
Then there's no more to be won
And with myself
I finally feel that I am one
And I figured all this out at 19 years
Still so young
So from my fears
I no longer have to run
[Chorus x2]
I want you
To understand what I was dealin' with
I want you
To hear my music and then be feelin' it
I want to take you back to a time I ain't so happy
And it might sound sappy
Aut I ain't there now
And that's what's happenin'
[Verse 2: Jarod Glawe]
Dropped out of college to follow this dream
Many thought I was crazy
Just for this whole thing
Society don't want a kid to follow his dream
A college degree apparently is worth everything
Just not for me
And when I make it
I wanna pay you back
For supportin' me
And always just havin' my back
Cause I took a different track
And when I'm flyin' up high
I wanna take you with me
I promise you won't forget me
I won't forget you
And if you support me
Then I swear I'll support you
Cause this world isn't meant to be faced alone
It's meant for two
And when I say that, I'm starin at you
So take my hand on this journey I'm about to go through
So prepare for the darkness of my past
As I put you into the emotion of the year last
Feel the pain
Amplified by bein' an outcast
And the regret of decisions
I didn't know the half
But just know
The darkness can creep up even as we grow
The good times won't last
But neither will the bad
Gotta be thankful
For the time that we do have
And just to be alive
You gotta be glad
[Chorus x2]
I want you
To understand what I was dealin' with
I want you
To hear my music and then be feelin' it
I want to take you back to a time I ain't so happy
And it might sound sappy
Aut I ain't there now
And that's what's happenin'
[Outro]
This is just the start
