[Verse 1]
The beginning was so easy
Do whatever to survive
In the middle of my story
All I want is to feel alive

[Chorus]
And I'm not my mother or father
And I am not yesterday's son
I'm not broken
I'm a wide open highway
With room to run

[Verse 2]
All these voices and decisions
Swimming circles in my head
All these choices and opinions
Feeling heavy as lead

[Chorus]
And I'm not my mother or father
And I am not yesterday's son
I'm not broken
I'm a wide open highway
With room to run
[Bridge]
In the middle of my story
All I want is to feel alive

[Chorus]
And I'm not my mother or father
And I am not yesterday's son
I'm not broken
I'm a wide open highway
With room to run
