[Verse]
  DI’ve been thinking,  Gall my friends are growing up,
And as the Dlights go down, we sit and talk 
About busy lives and who we’ll be, and how GHigh School really wasn’t all that bad.
[Pre-chorus]
   BmNow he’s in between jobs   Gand she plans to move aDway
But I’ve got my dreams in a Dbook of things
That I swore I’d do someBmday.
Am I moving forward?   GAm I doing all I Dcan?
Cause I’m stuck between all Your Dplans for me, and my hometown scenery.
[Chorus]
DI may not look like much, but I know Gwho I want to be,
I Bmlive two separate lives, but both are Awhat I want of me,
DIf comfort’s how we gauge the rate of Gprogress in our lives,
I’ll Bmwatch the people pass me by, as I’m Astanding on the interstate line.

[Verse]
  DI’ve been drifting,   Grelationships that came and went,
Remembering Dall those times I said too much,
In hopes to prove who I was, still I Gpick the pieces up with eyes held shut.
[Pre-chorus]
  BmShouldn’t change feel right?   GHave I made some grave misDtake?
I know these things can Dcome at once
And sometimes it’s hard to Bmtake. 
Am I moving forward?   GAm I doing all I Dcan?
Cause I’m stuck between all Your Dplans for me, and my hometown scenery.
[Chorus]
DI may not look like much, but I know Gwho I want to be,
I Bmlive two separate lives, but both are Awhat I want of me,
DIf comfort’s how we gauge the rate of Gprogress in our lives,
I’ll Bmwatch the people pass me by, as I’m Astanding on the interstate line.
