Verse 1 I spent half my life waiting on a green light Waiting on the right year, the right town, the right time Had a pocket full of plans and a head full of doubt Kept saying someday till someday ran out I watched good years disappear in the rearview Chased what looked right instead of what felt true Now the mirror’s got a little more gray But I finally know what I’m trying to say Pre-Chorus I don’t need permission I don’t need a sign I’ve been standing at the starting line For half my life Chorus So I’m starting now With the miles I’ve got left No more waiting around For somebody else’s yes I’ve been scared, I’ve been proud I’ve been lost, I’ve been found If the road runs out tomorrow I’m still starting now Verse 2 I made some money, made a couple mistakes Learned what you keep and what the years take away Some doors closed and some bridges burned Funny how losing is where you learn I used to think winning meant proving them wrong Now I just want a life I’m proud to stand on A little more truth, a little less noise And a reason to wake up and make the choice Pre-Chorus I don’t need permission I don’t need a sign I’ve been standing at the starting line For half my life Chorus So I’m starting now With the miles I’ve got left No more waiting around For somebody else’s yes I’ve been scared, I’ve been proud I’ve been lost, I’ve been found If the road runs out tomorrow I’m still starting now Bridge Maybe I’m late Maybe that’s true But late beats never And I’ve got work to do Final Chorus Yeah, I’m starting now With the scars and the rest No more waiting around Trying to look my best I’ve been scared, I’ve been proud But I know who I am now If the road runs out tomorrow I’m still starting now Outro No more someday No more somehow I’m starting now
