For the first time in my life
From a hotel room in Mexico
I've been hangin' on this feelin' 'cause it always gets away
The first is always right
You never hesitated either
When the words are worth repeatin'
Everyday will turn to night
It's the first time that I try to keep the ending a big secret
Try to change, try to cheat it
For the first time in my life
But you were looking for direction
Tryin' to make it by
Always lookin' for the shortcuts
You've been racin' this whole time
And everybody wanted somethin'
But you just can't decide
Everybody wants the answers
But they're busy telling lies
I found a crack when I was younger, underneath it
As I pulled on all the strings to find the pieces
I hate to tell you it's just another way to say it
But this thing that you call freedom
No, it's not quite what it seems
You know it's never what it seems
But you were lookin' for direction
Tryin' to make it by
Always lookin' for the shortcuts
You've been racin' this whole time
And everybody wanted something
But you just can't decide
Everybody wants the answers
But they're busy tellin' lies
I got the feelin'
That you're troubled by your reasons
Use the fire, it keeps you warm
Use your eyes so you can see them
It's the changin' of the seasons
When it's always just repeatin'
Down the line, you'll probably see 'em
But for now, you're deep in thought
But you were looking for direction
Tryin' to make it by
Always lookin' for the shortcuts
You've been racing this whole time
And everybody wanted somethin'
But you just can't decide
Everybody wants the answers
But they're busy tellin' lies
But they're busy tellin' lies
