Frozen at the Gate

[Verse 1] Got a head full of colors They’re all screaming to be seen Hands shake over blank pages Like they’re scared of what I’ll dream Every heartbeat says “go now” But my feet stay on the floor I’m a match that keeps on waiting Just outside the door [Chorus] I’m stuck in the spark Not the fire Got all this wild Wired desire To build a world that nobody’s tried But the start line keeps slipping from my stride I could light up the dark I swear I feel the boom of it right there But I’m running in place in my own mind’s maze Burning to begin And frozen at the gate [Verse 2] Friends talk about their big plans Like they’re boarding every plane I map kingdoms on napkins Then I throw them all away Every sunrise feels like “This is it This is the day” Then a tiny doubt just whispers “Maybe not today” [Chorus] I’m stuck in the spark Not the fire Got all this wild Wired desire To build a world that nobody’s tried But the start line keeps slipping from my stride I could light up the dark I swear I feel the boom of it right there But I’m running in place in my own mind’s maze Burning to begin And frozen at the gate [Bridge] What if I just choose a door Any door Any road One step more (hey!) What if failure’s just a sign That I finally crossed the line Maybe there is no big “why” Just a small brave “try Then try” [Chorus] I’m stuck in the spark Not the fire Got all this wild Wired desire To build a world that nobody’s tried But the start line keeps slipping from my stride I could light up the dark I swear I feel the boom of it right there But I’m running in place in my own mind’s maze Burning to begin And frozen at the gate
