One Time

I used to live behind a fortress wall
 Collected all the stones, built it on my own
 Stories on top of stories left untold
 Together with no plans of ever-growing old
 But now I look around and all that I can see
 (All that I can see, all that I can see, all that I can see)
 Is every brick I lay, keeping the world from me
 Well, safety for me then is prison to me now
 (Prison to me now, prison to me now, prison to me now, but)
 But I built this wall so well it's hard to tear it down, no
 And I don't know what I see
 But if I'm speaking truthfully
 I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 But if I could just get one time
 When everything just fell in line
 Oh, release me, release me
 It's crazy what we do to stay alive
 The prices that we pay to enlist in sunrise
 I had so many needs I set aside
 But now that I survived, I'm learning how to thrive
 'Cause now I look around and don't know what I see
 (Don't know what I see, don't know what I see, don't know what I see)
 Is this just empty space or opportunity?
 What used to scare me then, I'm seeing daily now
 (Seeing daily now, seeing daily now, seeing daily now, so)
 So I trade my comfort zone for new uncharted ground, oh-ah
 And I don't know what I see
 But if I'm speaking truthfully
 I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 But if I could just get one time
 When everything just fell in line
 Oh, release me, release me
 I don't know what I see
 But if I'm speaking truthfully
 I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 But if I could just get one time
 When everything just fell in line
 Oh, release me, release me, oh-ah
 I don't know what I see
 But if I'm speaking truthfully
 I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy, yeah
 And if I could just get one time
 When it all fell in line
 Oh, release me, release me, yeah
