[Verse 1] You leave your list beside my name Then grade the way I carry it I set my own plans out of frame You call one missed detail a slip [Pre-Chorus] My wants get buried in your needs My hours disappear in pieces [Chorus] I want my own velocity No hand on every turn I take I’ve given more than you can see One small mistake, and I’m to blame I want my own velocity To run at all the speed in me [Verse 2] I learn your limits, hold them tight You never ask what I set down You count the fault, ignore the night I spend to keep your world from slowing down [Bridge] Let the road open; let me go I’m not a spare gear for your load [Final Chorus] I want my own velocity No hand on every turn I take I’ve given more than you can see One small mistake, and I’m to blame I want my own velocity To run at all the speed in me [Outro] All the speed in me
