I spent some years blaming shadows Every shadow for my scars thinking I could outrun trouble by driving faster cars I called my restless heart freedom called mistakes being young didn’t know the road was teaching me before lesson had begun funny how the years can change you when you finally slow things down what I thought was falling apart was just turning me around my outlook is different now I see things different in light the same old road beneath my tires don’t look so lonely tonight I use to think I had to fight every battle on my own now I see alittle grace in every mile that brought me home yeah my outlook is different now and I’m thankful for what I found I chased every open highway slept beneath a restless sky had a pocket full of reasons and a thousand alibis then you walked into my choas with a smile I couldn’t hide somehow all my scattered pieces started to fall in line my outlook is different now I see things in a different light the same old road beneath my tires don’t look so lonely tonight I use to think I had to fight every battle on my own now I see a little grace in every mile that brought me home yeah my outlook is different now and I’m thankful for what I found they were turns I’ve never planned on there were doors I left behind some were lessons dressed as heartbreak some were blessings I was blind to find now there’s laughter in the kitchen little footsteps down the hall and the life I never pictured is the life id choose above it all
