(Intro) Yeah, yeah Twenty-eight Don’t ask me where I’ve been Just ask me where I’m going Verse 1 I walked through the fire with a smile on my face Lost a few people, found a better pace Had my heart broken out in the rain Put it back together and I danced through the pain Old friends talking like they know my story Same old pages, different kind of glory I don’t need a crown, I don’t need a throne I built my empire out of what I owned Pre-Chorus I used to chase things that ran away Now I let them leave, let them fade Funny how the world gets quiet When you stop begging it to stay Chorus Twenty-eight, I’m wide awake No more promises I have to fake No more tears that I have to hide I got my name and I got my pride Twenty-eight, I’m feeling great A little late but I’m right on fate If you loved me then, you love me now If you lost me, figure it out Twenty-eight Twenty-eight Look at me now Look at me now Verse 2 I bought new shoes for the road ahead Left old memories under my bed Your old picture in a dusty frame Funny how a stranger had your name I heard you’re asking how I’ve been doing Tell them I’m dancing, tell them I’m moving I’m not the person you left behind I’m the one you’ll never find Pre-Chorus I used to count every little mistake Now I count every chance I take The world keeps turning faster And I’m finally wide awake Chorus Twenty-eight, I’m wide awake No more promises I have to fake No more tears that I have to hide I got my name and I got my pride Twenty-eight, I’m feeling great A little late but I’m right on fate If you loved me then, you love me now If you lost me, figure it out Bridge Here’s to the nights I almost gave up Here’s to the times I wasn’t enough Funny how the broken pieces shine When you stop looking for a reason why I’m not bitter, I’m not blue I’m just done being small for you Final Chorus Twenty-eight, I’m wide awake Everything I lost became my strength No more running, no more doubt This is what I’m all about Twenty-eight, remember the name I walked through storms and I stayed the same If you see me, don’t look away I’m the story you missed that day Twenty-eight Twenty-eight Look at me now
