I see the road
But where will it take me?
I'll carry my load
And follow the signs
The signs show no hope
And most of them blank anyway
Where is the road?
I can talk so you save me

Still, I try to maintain clever conversation
Not just found love
Now I'm sick in my salvation
From the fear and the realness
I've escaped my adolescence
But, no, no no

There's no turning back now

Like a punch in the face
This news can't hit harder
I'm losing my place
Trying to swallow it down
Am I awake?
Should I question my heart, or?
For every word that she says
Every word that she says!
Should I leave this place?
Pretend it's not my bother?
Find someone else?
‘Cause I'm not prepared to father
I'm seventeen for Christ's sake, and I just want my mom
But, no, oh, no
There's no turing back now

And suddenly I've sunk into nothing
I'm useless
‘Cause I don't give a fuck about nothing
But she seems trusting
She says she loves me
But what does that mean?

Oh what a coward
I took no blame for how it happened
She says she loves me
And still I feel cornered
I wish I had a dad for this man to man
But he left me
Oh he left me

It's a mistake
But It was mine to make
Leave it? Or take it?
I'll break through the pain
I've got time
I've got nine months to get my shit together
And turn myself around

I can protect her
She loves me
It's in this letter
I'll go show her I'm a man
I won't let her down
I'm seventeen
A dad to be
There's no turning back now
