[Verse 1] You keep the letter folded in the kitchen drawer A date circled twice, but you donât look anymore The call waits on your screen like a door you wonât try You tell yourself tomorrow, while the hours slide by [Pre-Chorus] Your hand is on the handle Your feet are on the floor You know what waits beyond it You canât stay here anymore [Chorus] Rip it off, donât count to ten Take the hurt and move again Say the thing, step through the door You are not what you were waiting for Rip it off, take back the wheel Make the choice and let it feel If it shakes you, let it shake Youâre alive in what you make [Verse 2] You pack the coat you wore through every borrowed year Leave the key beside the cup, let the quiet clear Thereâs no perfect hour coming, no sign in the sky Just your name in your own mouth, and a reason to try [Pre-Chorus] Your hand is on the handle Your feet are on the floor You know what waits beyond it You canât stay here anymore [Chorus] Rip it off, donât count to ten Take the hurt and move again Say the thing, step through the door You are not what you were waiting for Rip it off, take back the wheel Make the choice and let it feel If it shakes you, let it shake Youâre alive in what you make [Bridge] One note held while the room goes still Far-off voices over the windowsill No more asking fear for a sign No more lending it all of your time [Final Chorus] Rip it off, donât count to ten Take the hurt and move again Say the thing, step through the door You are not what you were waiting for Rip it off, take back the wheel Make the choice and let it feel If it shakes you, let it shake Youâre alive in what you make Rip it off! Rip it off! You are here, and you decide Rip it off! Rip it off! Take your life back from the other side [Outro] Your hand is on the handle Your feet are on the floor You know what waits beyond it You donât wait anymore
