Laying in a field of grass
Knowing I can't look in the past
The stars they shine bright
But not as bright as you
Little me would be so proud of you
(Oh, oh, hey!)
I skip the stones cause it's all I have
I wanted life but I don't look back
I was scared of what's ahead of me (ahead of me)
Told myself that you won't let go
Let go of the wheel and lost control
Needed help and now you know
That you're here now
I hear the sound of the river as it rushes by
And the feel of the wind is like time flashing by
And I hear the birds sing melodies
That catch my heart and make it free
Sticks and stones and broken bones
I threw them all away
(Hey!) I skip the stones cause it's all I have
I wanted life but I don't look back
I was scared of what's ahead of me
Told myself that you won't let go
Let go of the wheel and lost control
Needed help and now you know
That you're here now
That you're here now
And it is what it is and it's bright now
The storms have disappeared so there's light now
We tell it like it is like it is what it was
What it was was a story of our life how (life how)
We wanted something different a different kind of dream
A life with no more pain but that's not reality
It was a picture that we painted on a canvas of our past
But the past forever gone is a dream that never lasts (never lasts)
So never give a thought to the places you have been
Because the places you have been are now a million miles away
Look at your reflection and see who you've become
Then see the sun the dawn has come
There's light on the horizon
(On the horizon)
I skip the stones cause it's all I have
I wanted life but I don't look back
I was scared of what's ahead of me (what's ahead of me, hey!)
Told myself that you won't let go
Let go of the wheel and lost control
Needed help and now you know
That you're here now
I skip the stones cause it's all I have (I look at my reflection)
I wanted life but I don't look back (and I see who I've become)
I was scared of what's ahead of me (then I see the sun, the dawn has come, there's light on the horizon)
Told myself that you won't let go (I look at my reflection)
Let go of the wheel and lost control (and I see who I've become)
Needed help and now you know (then I see the sun, the dawn has come, there's light)
That you're here now (on the horizon)
