Matthew Perryman Jones
A Story Of My Own
Every night I lie awake
And dream about who I could be
Outside this place
I'm stuck inside my history
But my whole life's in front of me
I can't stay

I wanna know what it feels like
Outside these walls and all these lines
I've been in for too long

Where will the wind take me when I go?
I don't really think I need to know
And you don't have to worry
I'm writing a story of my own

I am packing up my car
I can feel all the stars aligning
Set out on this open road
Leaving everything I've know behind me

I feel free and it feels right
Outside those walls and all those lines
I've lived in for so long

Where will the wind take me as I go?
I don't really think I need to know
And you don't have to worry
I'm writing a story of my own

Where will the wind take me as I go?
I don't really think I need to know
And you don't have to worry
I'm writing a story
No, and you don't have to worry
I'm writing a story of my own
