[intro - instrumental] [Verse 1] Woke up with the world on fire Maps and plans and a tightrope wire Everyone’s talkin’ like they know the way But every sign points a different place Voices in my head say “choose a side” But I’m lost in the flood, can’t stem the tide Doctor? Dancer? Soldier? Star? What if I don’t make it that far? [Pre-Chorus] Can I press pause, rewind, or slow it down? Every choice feels like it might drown The kid I was, the dream I had Now it’s buried under questions I never asked [Chorus] Too many roads, not enough time Too many dreams that don't feel like mine Running in circles, I’m chasing the sun But it burns me down before I’ve begun Too many hearts, too many names Too many versions I can't sustain Tell me, who am I supposed to be When every mirror shows a stranger to me? [Verse 2] Studied the stars, wrote down my fate But the lines keep changing with the weight Music or math, love or war How do I choose what’s worth fighting for? Mom says "safe," Dad says "proud" Friends say "fly," my doubt shouts loud Even silence is a sound That echoes when no one’s around [Pre-Chorus] Can I press pause, rewind, or slow it down? Every step feels like shaky ground The path I pick, the one I miss They haunt me like a lover’s kiss [Chorus] Too many roads, not enough time Too many dreams that don't feel like mine Running in circles, I’m chasing the sun But it burns me down before I’ve begun Too many hearts, too many names Too many versions I can't sustain Tell me, who am I supposed to be When every mirror shows a stranger to me? [Bridge] Maybe the truth’s in the trying Not in the plan or the prize Maybe I’m more than the label More than the fear in my eyes [Final Chorus] Too many roads, but I’ll still run Not for the end, but for what I become Every mistake, every fall I make Is carving out the life I create Too many storms, too much rain But maybe that’s how I’ll grow through pain Tell me, who am I supposed to be? Maybe just... me. Finally me.
