Nothing Ever Happens
She dreams of where she's never beenA story starts where it should endShe keeps a bible closeAnd folds the pages down she needs the most
Her faded walls are closing inSo in her head she leaves againThey've painted ceilings blue and greenAnd brilliant colors she's never seen
But nothing ever happens if you stay in your roomNothing ever happens if you leave the party too soonNever be a winner if you're not in the gameAnd nothing ever happens if you always play it safeMake a little space and get out of your own way
A ticket out sits on her shelfAnd gathers dust upon itselfCause chasing chance is for the braveMaybe soon she'll feel that way
But nothing ever happens if you stay in your roomAnd nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soonNothing ever happens if you don't get hurtAnd nothing ever happens if you never get dirtyMake a little space and go on, get out, go on get out
Leave what you don't needYou're free and the pieces will fall into placeYou and you only who can make a little space andAnd get out of your own way
She sees the sunlight through the cracksIt's only her who holds her backAnd so she takes her deepest breathShuts the door and walks down the steps
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your roomNothing ever happens if you leave the party too soonNever be a winner if you're not in the gameAnd nothing ever happens if you always play it safeMake a little space and get out of your own
Oh, get out of your own wayGet out of your own wayOh, get out of your own wayGet out of your own way
