I can be bigger
Stronger than I thought
Fearless and wiser
Ready to risk it all

I remember well all the wasted years
When I believed that I was broken
Like a disease it just gets inside
And makes you feel like you’re choking

When I saw the water rising up
I lit a match and burned the boat
When nobody heard the cry
I survived it on my own

And it made me bigger
Stronger than I thought
Fearless and wiser
Ready to risk it all

They tell me I’m wrong
Chances long gone
Stick to the path where I belong
But I will be bigger
I’ve known it all along

I was hitting dead ends in the dark
Driving corners like I’m blind
Watching every ugly scene replay
Trapped in my mind (noo)

I saw them try to tear me down
Smiling as I bruised
Then came the morning I woke up
With nothing left to lose

And all this pain inside
I know you feel it too
But I know on the other side
Lies a different truth

That you can be bigger
Stronger than you thought
Fearless and wiser
Ready to risk it all

They’ll tell you you’re wrong
Chances long gone
Stick to the path where you belong
But you can be bigger
The trick is holding on

And we can be bigger
Stronger than we thought
Fearless and wiser
Ready to risk it all

They tell us we’re wrong
Chances long gone
Stick to the path where we belong
But we will be bigger and bigger
I’ve known it all along

And we will be bigger, bigger
Stronger than we thought (noo)
Fearless and wiser
Ready to risk it all

And they tell us we’re wrong
Chances long gone
Stick to the path where we belong
But we will be bigger and bigger
The feeling’s growing strong (noo)

Bigger (noo)
(Bigger, bigger)
The trick is
The trick is
The trick is holding on

I whisper your name through the phone
I beg you to come back home
Unfamiliar laughter drowns out your voice
I promise I’m fine on my own

I wake in the night just to see
If you’re in my room fast asleep
The feeling hits me as I open my eyes
And see the empty space between you and me

Cus’ when a small town boy
Loves a small town girl
He’s gotta choose between her and his dreams
And when a small town boy
Leaves a small town girl
She’s gotta heart forever ripped at the seams
California Oooh
Took you from me

I gathered your things and I called up your mom
I broke down and cried when she told me I’m strong
She always said she hoped you’d end up with me
But now she says that I should try to move on

Cus’ when a small town boy
Loves a small town girl
He’s gotta choose between her and his dreams
And when a small town boy
Leaves a small town girl
She’s gotta heart forever ripped at the seams
California took you away

From your life back here in the shadows
From our childhood memories
When we ran hand in hand
Through these streets
We swore we’d never leave

I still remember the day it all went dark
You were throwing your bags in the back of your car
And I stood on the steps just to see if you’d turn around
But you kept the car in drive and headed straight out of that town

Cus’ when a small town boy
Loves a small town girl
He’s gotta choose between her and his dreams
And when a small town boy
Leaves a small town girl
She’s gotta heart forever ripped at the seams
California, ohh

I whisper your name through the phone
I promise I’m fine on my own
