[Verse 1] Another Monday in a faded town Same old clock ticking the same old sound Cheap coffee on tap at a Job I hate Watching the years disappear like it's fate Streetlights flicker on the empty road Every face I know carrying the same old load She said, "Maybe this is all we'll ever be" But something in me still wanted to break free [Pre-Chorus] I hear a voice beneath the noise Calling me beyond these walls One life, one chance, one choice Before the curtain falls [Chorus] I'm gonna burn the map tonight Leave this town in the rearview light Leave the job, leave the fear behind Leave the shadows that were never mine And if I lose everything I knew At least I'll know I followed through Sometimes you save yourself by letting go When the old life ends, the new one grows [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh Start again, start again Oh-oh-oh-oh Start again, start again [Verse 2] We were holding on to a sinking ship Trying to make forever from a broken script Two hearts trapped in a borrowed dream Neither of us were who we seemed So I packed my doubts in a cardboard box Left the key beneath the flower pot No goodbye speech, no grand parade Just one deep breath and a clean escape [Pre-Chorus] I hear a rhythm in my chest Like a train pulling out at dawn Maybe the road knows best Maybe it's time to move on [Chorus] I'm gonna burn the map tonight Leave this town in the rearview light Leave the job, leave the fear behind Leave the shadows that were never mine And if I lose everything I knew At least I'll know I followed through Sometimes you save yourself by letting go When the old life ends, the new one grows [Deep House Breakdown] No destination No validation No permission needed now Just a heartbeat And the highway And the promise of somehow No more waiting No more fading No more living half-alive The horizon's calling The old world falling And for the first time I arrive [Final Chorus] I'm gonna burn the map tonight Watch the sunrise paint the sky Every ending hides a door To something worth fighting for And if the road gets hard to see I'll trust the man I'm meant to be Sometimes you save yourself by walking away To become who you were born to be [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh I'm finally free Oh-oh-oh-oh Becoming me Oh-oh-oh-oh The past can stay behind Oh-oh-oh-oh The future's mine tonight.
