Take the wheel take the road
Growing up's getting old
Moving on, moving out, moving away
My name's the only part of me surviving the change
Driving off leaving behind
A world I knew would never be mine
Where the boys play ball and the girls bow down
Where I thought ahead and I look back now
As I make my way
Down the interstate
Having conversations with license plates
Play a supercut
Indulge nostalgia
Before pushing it away
It was the first year leaving, my first year alone
The first time living life on my own
With nothing to turn to but thoughts in my head
With nowhere to run but my mind's dead end
It was the first year losing the life that I'd known
The first time struggling where to call my home
And if I'll be remembered when I come to town
If I fall way out here will they hear the sound
Oh
City sky looming ahead
Makes me feel like I'm just a kid
With an awestruck gaze and a fearful heart
With a story to tell but no place to start
As I make my way
Exit the highway
hear the street signs start to call my name
Make a supercut
To look back on
So I won't forget the way
It was the first year living, beginning to become
The first time seeing life outside home
And that dreams can be goals and those goals be achieved
If I put doubt to rest and just start to believe
It was the first year loving the face that I see
In passing glances that the mirror graces me
And if people can change, well then so can I
My life is how I choose to spend my time
Oh
As I make my way
Down the dim hallway
Count the footsteps 'til I reach my place
Rewind supercuts
Eye the play button
Realize a new one has begun
It was the first year learning, the first year knowing
To grow is to fall is to get back up
That mistakes will be made and cannot be undone
But the lessons that come make it worth the fall
It was the first year looking inside of myself
Forgiving where I've been and finding self-respect
For the boy born of love of his mom and his dad
For the man he'll become in the next year's time
Oh
It was the first year leaving, the first year losing
The first year living, the first year loving
The first year learning, the first year looking ahead
It was the first year leaving, the first year losing
The first year living, the first year loving
The first year learning, the first year looking ahead
The first year I lived
