Just because you say you shouldn't
Doesn't have to mean you couldn't—
Just because you're scared to say
“why not, I'll try it anyway.”

And even then, back when you didn't,
You didn't know what there was hidden.
Back behind those ears and eyes,
That space you filled with fear and lies.

And now it's time to set it straight
And move on out, walk through that gate.
But here you sit, holding on tight
Onto your pre-established life.

And even still I do implore
To let it go, walk through that door,
To let it go, try something new,
And find out all that chance can do.

But here you stay, content and ill
With your desire to hold still.
Time and change knock at your door
But you don't answer anymore.

So go head, do what you didn't—
Ignore potential, all that was in it.
Take all the “coulds” you said you “couldn't”
And will your life into a “wouldn't”.
