Blueprints Video (MV)

I used to trace the stars with chalk
On the driveway, dreaming big, till the rain would wash it off
(Blueprints) My teachers said, "Aim for the sky"
But nobody told me how hard it was to fly.
Now I'm stuck in a maze of fluorescent lights
Chasing deadlines that keep me up at night
I had plans to be more, I had plans to be bold
But somehow I'm just fitting in the mold.
They said, "Draw your dreams, let the universe guide"
But these lines on the paper don't match what's inside.
They told me to climb, but they gave me no rope
Now I'm just sketching shadows of hope.
Blueprints in the sky, they all look the same
I've got a thousand plans, but I've lost the frame.
Erase, redraw, it's all a game
Blueprints in the sky, they all look the same.
I used to talk about what I'd build
A skyscraper of dreams reaching over the hills
Now my paper's all crumpled and torn
And I'm stuck drawing rooftops too small to soar.
I had ideas that would shake the ground
Now I'm scared of the risks, so I settle down
Is this what it means to grow up and comply?
Turning castles to houses before I even try?
They said, "Draw your dreams, let the universe guide"
But these lines on the paper don't match what's inside.
They told me to climb, but they gave me no rope
Now I'm just sketching shadows of hope.
Blueprints in the sky, they all look the same
I've got a thousand plans, but I've lost the frame.
Erase, redraw, it's all a game
Blueprints in the sky, they all look the same.
What if I colored outside the lines?
What if I threw out the grid this time?
What if I built something nobody knew?
Would I see the world, or would it see me too?
I don't want to live like a dotted path
Connecting points that are fading fast
Maybe I'll fold this map in two
And turn it into wings to carry me through.
Blueprints in the sky, they'll never be mine
I'm done tracing stars that refuse to shine.
Erase, redraw, it's not the same
Blueprints in the sky are just lines to reframe.
I used to trace the stars with chalk
On the driveway, dreaming big, till the rain would wash it off.
