Following My Feet

from Free by Jon Crocker

/

lyrics

I grew up too early to appreciate the days I should’ve been out laughing madly
instead of worrying about what could be saved
I was always too afraid to let the chips fall where they may,
to let myself be something so untamed and unaware of where I stood--
not a human being, but a human watching being from a ways.

I grew up too late for the ones that got away--I should’ve given love sincerely
instead of worrying about what I might miss
if I closed my eyes to kiss. If I quit complaining about the things that never mattered,
would it all have changed? And where would I be today?
I’m glad I grew up when I did--before I let the best one get away.

Chorus:
And I’m still following my feet, but we don’t walk the way we used to.
We don’t go astray.
And we could keep on running around in circles every day, but me,
I’d rather take my time and keep on walking straight. Yeah me,
I’d rather take my time and keep on walking straight.

I grew up too early to know what to expect when cells divide and make a life, well,
what am I supposed to do with this?
I’ve never lived this life before, and I’m not the man my father was and I
don’t know how he dealt with all my lip. Maybe he was just as lost.
Maybe we all wear a bigger smile when we’re barely holding on--
and I’m holding with both hands.
Even if I do it wrong, all I do is do the best I can.

Repeat Chorus

I grew up too late to have a fighting chance at being something beautiful,
at making any mark that’s worth a damn.
So I learned to understand that breathing in and breathing out
is good enough for everyone--shouldn’t it be good enough for me?
