A Place
to Belong
Something brought you back
to the kid that you were.
When your will dissolves —
but it hasn’t happened yet.

No one’s getting out
without stadium love.
Something brought you back
to the kid that you were.
It’s time to live my life
like it’s never been done.
So you’re beaten up —
but you bounce back.
Don’t go quietly.
When you feel this light.
When you feel this happy.
I beg the clouds
to break.
What if the right time never arrives?
In between, I’m always holding out.
Am I ever gonna be here now?
I’m gonna dry all my tears today.
I’m gonna lift up and fly away.
To date.
I want it all.
