When You Break Through

[Verse 1] You drew circles in the margins Little patterns only you could read All your journals in a shoebox All your someday dreams beneath the bed [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “one day soon” While the calendar stares straight through you All those colors in your room Begging you to choose [Chorus] When you connect the dots What you are becomes what you do Every quiet thought Turns to air you’re walking through When the line you trace Matches every word you knew That’s when the frame gives way That’s when you break through That’s when you break through [Verse 2] You’ve been practicing in private Perfect speeches to an empty wall But your heartbeat is a compass It’s already pointing past the door [Pre-Chorus] Every “later” feels the same Till you step into your own name Feel the pattern rearranged As you lean into the change [Chorus] When you connect the dots What you are becomes what you do Every quiet thought Turns to air you’re walking through When the line you trace Matches every word you knew That’s when the frame gives way That’s when you break through That’s when you break through [Bridge] You don’t have to be ready You just have to be real Let your hidden edges Cut a brand new shape to feel You’re already the story You’ve been waiting to live All the truth you’ve been hoarding Now it’s time to give (oh) [Chorus] When you connect the dots What you are becomes what you do Every guarded part Opens up and moves with you When the line you trace Finally shows the whole of you That’s when the frame gives way That’s when you break through Yeah That’s when you break through
